Title:
  multi-arched python makes large number of python packages FTBFS

Status in “python-defaults” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed
Status in “virtualbox” package in Ubuntu:
  New
Status in “python-defaults” source package in Raring:
  Confirmed
Status in “virtualbox” source package in Raring:
  New

Bug description:
  A rather large number of Python packages are no longer building
  successfully in raring but they built fine before multiarch.

  The error logs will have a message similar to:

  /usr/include/python2.7/Python.h:8:22: fatal error: pyconfig.h: No such file or directory
  compilation terminated.

  This was discussed in a thread at https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives
  /ubuntu-devel/2013-January/036291.html where some sort of
  compatibility header was proposed.

  Personally, I think it would be an extraordinary effort to
  individually patch all of the affected packages and I'm not sure
  whether these patches would be accepted into upstreams.
