Python.h not found when it exists Windows

Question

I'm simply trying to get this to compile to then continue and do the actual code but whenever I try to compile this it says fatal error: Python.h: No such file or directory I have tried everything and still. I am using NetBeans and in the "Additional Library Directories" I put C:/Python27/libs and in "Include Directories" I put C:/Python27/include

#include <iostream>
#include <Python.h>

using namespace std;

int main(int argc, char** argv) {
    cout << "Hello World!";
    return 0;
}

Python.h itself needs to be in your include path and the library needs to be in your library path.
