Problem:
When you install your package locally using python setup.py install, all include files are found and the package installs correctly
However you run pip install, the compiler is missing some include files
Solution:
Most likely, your include file does not end up in the sdist i.e. the source distribution .tar.gz file. In order to include it, create a MANIFEST.in file in the same folder as setup.py in order to tell setuptools what to include in addition to any file directly referenced in setup.py.
In my case, the include files are in the src folder so I add this to MANIFEST.in:
graft src/
Now, to check if that worked, run
python setup.py sdist
which will show you which files are included in the source distribution. Example:

After that, you need to re-release your package. See my cv_algorithms project for a complete example.
