Description

When in follow the install guide https://fastapi.tiangolo.com/#installation it shows as if i can just write "pip install fastapi" and it will install everything by itself, however when running pip3 install fastapi~=0.111.0 i get an error indicating problems with httptools. Theres no mention in the docs for anything regarding this. I found fixes on google showing i should install python3-dev tools etc etc, and if that is in fact true, the docs should include it. My solution was to install fastapi 0.110.0 instead, which worked flawlessly.

      httptools/parser/parser.c:20:10: fatal error: Python.h: No such file or directory
         20 | #include "Python.h"
            |          ^~~~~~~~~~
      compilation terminated.
      error: command '/usr/bin/x86_64-linux-gnu-gcc' failed with exit code 1
      [end of output]
  
  note: This error originates from a subprocess, and is likely not a problem with pip.
  ERROR: Failed building wheel for httptools

Do you not have wheel installed? You should probably be using a virtualenv since it creates a linked python install independent from the system. Make sure you install python3-venv.

python3 -m venv .venv
source .venv/bin/activate
pip install fastapi

I have wheel 0.41.2 installed and am running inside a venv (automatically setup by intelliJ)

Still errors out. Does yours work?
