sudo apt-get install python3 python-dev python3-dev build-essential libssl-dev libffi-dev libxml2-dev libxslt1-dev zlib1g-dev

sudo ./setup.py build install

this should work

Make sure to use Python2, as Pyrit has not been updated to Python3 yet sudo apt-get install python2.7 or python2 clean build install if you already have Python2

I Have tried every mentioned solution above and yours too... Still i'm getting same error but with a diiference. instead of python.h fatal error, it says pcap.h.... Please help

Whats your O.S? Try : sudo apt-get install libpcap-dev

Generally when you see a header file missing {NAME}.h, Google the header name followed by "missing", 99% of the time you'll find your problem. :)

Bingo. Thank you kindly!

This is the only way it worked for me. Completely uninstalled and reinstalled everything needed. Hope it helps someone. https://github.com/hacker3983/pyrit-installer
