Why do we need this at all?

Fedora for example has no "libpython-dev" ... So at least the
"if" should check for "libpython-dev" too...

# dnf install libpython-dev Last metadata expiration check: 1:50:58 ago on Mon Jan 23 07:49:26 2017.
No package libpython-dev available.
Error: Unable to find a match.

bye,
