You need to install Python3.5 development files, so run this command:

apt-get install python3.5-dev

The above command will install Python 3 headers to build uWSGI from source.

  • This works! Thanks!! now I have uWSGI installed in my virutal env. But i can not run it with python 3. I run with `sudo uwsgi --http :80 --wsgi-file main.py --callable app --master --processes 8 --threads 2` and I see this line `Python version: 2.7.12 (default, Nov 19 2016, 06:48:10) [GCC 5.4.0 20160609]` – Alvaro B May 18 '17 at 03:21
  • Because `sudo` means to run some command as some other user (root by default), you can see [this question](https://superuser.com/questions/600349/why-sudo-python-and-python-in-terminal-start-two-different-versions-python/600350). – McGrady May 18 '17 at 03:24
  • but if I don't run like sudo, I can not run it using port 80 – Alvaro B May 18 '17 at 03:32

    @AlvaroB, just install proper python version in virtualenv. `$ virtualenv -p python3.6 .venv` and then `$ . .venv/bin/activate` and ' $ python --version ' must be `3.6.x` – kore666 Jul 18 '18 at 12:49
  • I have migrated to python3.6 and it's wokring fine. Thanks! – Alvaro B Aug 02 '18 at 20:15

    Thanks! You saved my time! I installed python3.7-dev as I use python3.7.9. – iconique Jan 08 '21 at 21:09

apt-get install build-essential python3-dev

From the uWSGI documentation:

uWSGI is a (big) C application, so you need a C compiler (like gcc or clang) and the Python development headers. On a Debian-based distro an apt-get install build-essential python-dev will be enough.

For Python3, just change that to python3-dev.

$ python3 --version Python 3.5.2 $ pip3 freeze uWSGI==2.0.15

For anyone with python 3.6 facing the same problem here is the step to solve it :

Get python 3.6 dev tools from this ppa:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:deadsnakes/ppa

Then update your package list with :

sudo apt-get update

and then install your dev tools with 3.6 version

apt-get install build-essential python3.6-dev

Activate your virtual environment with and then install uwsgi:

pip install uwsgi

Debian have package depending on all supported Python 3 development packages:

apt-get install python3-all-dev

I have faced the same issue. I solve it by following:

sudo apt install libpython3.7-dev

If your python version is 3.6, then use 3.6 instead of 3.7. After that install uwsgi using pip:

sudo pip install uwsgi

Alternatively, you can use conda to install uwsgi, but make sure to use conda-forge channel:

conda install -c conda-forge uwsgi

if you faced with the same problem while installing uwsgi under python3.6 just 

apt-get install python3.6-dev

In my case uwsgi installed via buildout

NOTE: may be you should add valid ppa

You must install python3-devel package:

$ sudo dnf install python3-devel -y

And then install uwsgi module:

$ pip install uwsgi

I was stuck on this one, trying to install uwsgi on Unbuntu in Windows Linux Subsystem.
Although it didn't give permission error, I solved it by running:

sudo pip install uwsgi

For openSUSE (tumbleweed),

  1. I deactivated and deleted my venv
  2. installed python3-devel via yast2
  3. then recreated and activated my venv
  4. and pip install uwsgi

if you want to install uwsgi command, through

curl http://uwsgi.it/install | bash -s default /tmp/uwsgi

mv /tmp/uwsgi to /usr/local what ever

I had a similar issue when installing uwsgi

 ibpython3.7m.a’ generated with LTO version 6.0 instead of the expected 8.1.

The default Python was 3.7 and I had to use pip3.8 to solve this problem. However I have another problem. Running

sudo uwsgi --socket 0.0.0.0:5000 --protocol=http -w wsgi:app

generates the following error:

uwsgi: invalid option -- 'w'
getopt_long() error

I have tried many things, including modular installation The main problem is that the default uwsgi folder is /usr/bin/uwsgi but when I install using pip3.8 it is not set to default. I couldn't resolve this problem and I switched to fastapi and uvicorn. I'm still interested to find the solution to my problem.
