Hi,

depending on your distribution the packages might have a different name. Have you tried installing python-dev manually. It might be named python2-dev.

Kind regards,  
Sascha

You don't make it particularly easy for to help you by not providing a  
playbook, or details about the host you're trying to manage.  
But, there are a few bits of information buried in that error you posted.  
Most importantly the string 'amzn' in one of the the package names  
suggests that you're using an AWS AMI.  
I think in that universe the package you're after is called "python-devel".
