The following error prevents me from installing dbus-python via pip3:
configure: error: cannot find python3.6-config or python-config in PATH
python-config was installed via pip3 without an issue, and I thought this would put it in PATH (but it didn't?) The complete output can be seen at the end of this post.
The same happens when using Python 2.7. Both commands below yield the same error:
pip install --user dbus-python
pip3 install --user dbus-python
Ultimately my goal is to install AutoKey (autokey-py3), however, its setup.py requires dbus-python and thus the same error occurs. I'm not sure what to do next as dbus-python is properly installed via dnf (I'm on Fedora27). If it's of any help, the packages dbus-devel and dbus-glib-devel are also installed successfully via dnf.
Moreover, importing dbus in Python works fine (because it's installed via dnf, I suppose), but for some reason the installation via pip3 fails.
Thanks!
PS: below is the complete output that shows the error.
