With WinPython and gcc: add -I"[WinPythonFolder]\[python-ver.amd64]\include

eg:

 gcc read_wfm_wrap.c -I"C:\Python\WinPython-64bit-3.6.3.0Qt5\python-3.6.3.amd64\include"

In code::blocks just go to the Project tab. Then you open Build Options > Search Directories' and clickAdd`.

You then browse to the directory of your python installation and select the include folder (or copy-paste the include folder to your project folder and add that folder itself to the list).

Select not to keep relative path.

That definitely fixes the problem and a similar solution should be used for other IDEs.

Usually, Python.h and all the header files it includes in it resides in include folder of Python's installation directory. You could just copy either all the header files from Python's include folder C:\Py\Anaconda3\include to gcc|cl 's include folder (Mine looks like this, C:\Program Files (x86)\CodeBlocks\MinGW\include) or only to the point where header files dependencies are resolved.
