Python API: C Extension install error - python

I'm using Mac, and I am trying to write my own c code to use it from Python. I'm new to this, and trying out a sample example from http://www.tutorialspoint.com/python/python_further_extensions.htm.
But, when I run the setup.py file to install my c file, it gives me an error, and I'm not sure what to do. Below is the resulting error message. Thanks a lot!
$ sudo python3 setup.py install

boost/thread.hpp: No such file or directory

There are many similar posts with the same error what I am facing, but none of the solutions worked for me. Please do not think this as repeated. I am reaching you out after trying with all the solutions suggested.
I am trying to create a python library from c++ file that uses boost library with
#include <boost/thread.hpp>
I have installed Boost in Ubuntu through the commands
./bootstrap.sh --prefix=/usr/local
and then
./b2 install --with-thread
.
Now, when I try to run a file with #include <boost/thread.hpp> it gives me this error saying
src/main.cpp:2:10: fatal error: boost/thread.hpp: No such file or directory
Am I missing on something? Can someone help me how can I solve this.

I will attach a screenshot of the same for viewing.

I have also tried with this command

. But similar result.
OS : Ubuntu 18.04
Boost version : 1.55
I have now resolved it with the command mentioned by Botje but with sudo.
sudo apt install libboost-thread-dev
But I did not want to do through root. So I have refrained its usage. But now I did not find any other way. I would be glad to know if any other solution works

Getting an error message when trying to download pygame

I am trying to download pygame and am getting an error. I am on a mac computer on OS X 10.11.6. I have an updated version of pip and have Xcode already installed.The error comes up when I type in pip3 install pygame. The error is below...
/usr/bin/clang -fno-strict-aliasing -Wsign-compare -fno-common -dynamic -DNDEBUG -g -fwrapv -O3 -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -arch i386 -arch x86_64 -g -DENABLE_NEWBUF=1 -I/NEED_INC_PATH_FIX -I/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.5/include/python3.5m -c src/scrap.c -o build/temp.macosx-10.6-intel-3.5/src/scrap.o
src/scrap.c:27:10: fatal error: 'SDL.h' file not found
#include "SDL.h"
^
1 error generated.
error: command '/usr/bin/clang' failed with exit status 1
Most sites say to run this in terminal: xcode-select --install which will install xcode tools.
As for installing pygame with python3 on mac, it can be tricky sometimes, so if running the above in terminal stops that error but brings up another un-xcode-related one, I would suggest going here or here if that link fails.

Type this in your terminal/cmd.
pip install python-docx.
For me when I made typed it in the apple terminal it was an error but type in the Pycharm terminal and it should work.

Installing rdiff on docker containers

I am trying to make a backup solution off docker containers using rdiff. I have python install and the python-dev packages but when I run the install command:
python ./setup.py install
I get the following error

Your container needs the librsync-dev package.
