Different directories:

kong ~ # find / -xdev -name Python.h
/usr/include/python3.5m/Python.h
/usr/include/python3.7m/Python.h
/usr/include/python2.7/Python.h
/usr/include/python3.6m/Python.h

On most distros it is more a matter of which Python is the active one.

sys.exec_prefix() tells you where to find the correct Python.h
