Distutils takes care of that for you. All you should need to do is
#include "Python.h"
in your source. As you concluded, the correct one to use is the one which
corresponds to the Python executable you're using. I believe distutils uses
sys.exec_prefix and the version of the running Pyhon to get a base directory
for the installation. From there it's just a hop, skip and jump to the
installed Include directory which corresponds to that running executable.
For example, for my current python, 2.6, I installed it in ~/local. That
gives me an include file directory of ~/local/include/python2.6.
