python-3.x installation virtualenv rhel7

I am trying to install something in my virtual environment, which uses anaconda python 3.6. I get the gcc failed with exit status 1, hinting on the absence of the right python3-devel package, as described in error: command 'gcc' failed with exit status 1 while installing eventlet.

To fix the error, I tried to install the python3-devel package on my server running RHEL 7.3. I did yum install python3-devel, but got a 'package not found' error. Then I found https://serverfault.com/questions/710354/repository-for-python3-devel-on-centos-7, which hints to the python34-devel package in the EPEL repository. I installed it using yum, but upon trying to install something in my virtual environment, I still get the gcc failed with exit status 1 error.

Does someone know how I can fix this? All help would be much apprechiated.

Search for the package in yum , use the following command:

yum search python3 | grep devel

It will list all the available devel packages. The result will be somewhat like this

python3-cairo-devel.x86_64 : Libraries and headers for python3-cairo
python3-devel.x86_64 : Libraries and header files needed for Python 3
                     : development
python34-devel.x86_64 : Libraries and header files needed for Python 3
                      : development

Then you can choose the package you want to install from the list , suppose if you want to to install python3-devel , execute the following

yum install -y python3-devel.x86_64
