@azaretdodo, Welcome to the Fedora Community.
If you’ve not had a chance yet, please look at the #start-here category. It has some very useful information on using the forum and tips on Fedora usage.
What package did you try to install? Is it python3-devel?
A quick dnf search got me the following result
[t0xic0der@ToxicDragon ~]$ sudo dnf search libxml2

I think there are packages available in the repo which can satisfy your usecase.
Hello,
Yes I talk about python devel,
But it seems python isn’t install I have search a python installed with grep without find a python installed,
The libxml2 I talk is a github installing,
Advice you I install any or some dnf near libxml2?
Thank you in advance for your answer,
Regards.

Can we have the output of
rpm -qa \*python\*devel\*
please?
Hello,
It go out Nothing your command line asked :
with slash instead backslash too,
Thank you in advance for your help for repair the problem,
Regards.
Azaretdodo.
Then you do not have the required package installed. Please use:
sudo dnf install python3-devel
and that will install the necessary files required for developing against Python, including the header you are looking for.
Regarding the version of libxml2, it can be pretty much controlled from pip.
Check this out - You need not rely on dnf if you feel you are not getting the appropriate version of libxml2 there. I made a search in the pip database and there is tons to choose from.
[t0xic0der@ToxicDragon ~]$ pip3 search libxml2
libxml2-python3 (2.9.5) - libxml2 package
libxml2-python (2.6.21) - libxml2 and libxslt package
m3-libxml2-python (2.6.9) - libxml2 and libxslt package
plone.recipe.lxml (0.4) - Recipe that builds lxml and dependencies
(libxslt, libxml2).
libxml2dom (0.5) - PyXML-style API for the libxml2 Python bindings
lxml (4.5.1) - Powerful and Pythonic XML processing library
combining libxml2/libxslt with the ElementTree
API.
INSTALLED: 4.4.1
LATEST: 4.5.1
lxml-odidev (4.5.0) - Powerful and Pythonic XML processing library
combining libxml2/libxslt with the ElementTree
API.
webio (0.1) - Make sure to have libxml2 devel for lxml sudo
yum install libxml2-devel libxslt-devel From
root: sudo python setup.py install --record
setup/setup.txt To uninstall: sudo cat
setup/setup.txt | xargs rm -rf
Good luck 
Hello Francisco,
I have ever dnf search and pipe grep python devel for find this program installed but they haven’t a python program lang laster installed no python 3.7 or python 3.8 installed by dnf,
They have ever python2-devel and python3-devel but they haven’t laster python devel or python program lang laster as python 3.7 or 3.8…
If I search python I am advice to use pipe more because they have too much python scripts!
I think the problem went by fedora system because I have ever installed all rpm program near python but they haven’t python compile by rpm or dnf,
You must let my system compile python program,
Thank you in advance to hear myself,
Regards.

I’m not sure I understand you. Python is not a compiled language at all, so all you need is the interpreter. If one is developing against python, one needs to install the development files, which are included in python3-devel. python3 in Fedora is the version that is used for the release. For Fedora 32, it is python3.8:
$ python3 --version
Python 3.8.3
This is your “system installation” of python. Since there cannot be multiple “system installations” of Python versions, if you are looking to develop against another version of python, you must set up a virtual environment and do it there.
This applies to all python packages. However, you should mention that if people use pip, they should do it in a virtual environment so that it does not affect the system installation of Python which is needed by all the applications installed in Fedora, including dnf.
yes Francesco have the Truth I have dnf install python3-devel then I have success to install the libxml2 GitHub 
I think you can close the ticket,
Thank you for your help 
Regards.
Azaretdodo.
Right @FranciscoD.
@azaretdodo, Here is a run through of how you can activate virtual environment (if you plan to use it someday)
pip3 install virtualenv --user and create a virtual environment using virtualenv <VIRTUAL-ENVIRONMENT-NAME> after making the project folder your present working directory.source <VIRTUAL-ENVIRONMENT-NAME>/bin/activate and then all pip3 installations would be restricted to this environment only.deactivate in the virtual environment prompt.Python 3 includes virtual environments, so you can just use this:
$ python3 -m virtualenv new
Using base prefix '/usr'
New python executable in /home/asinha/new/bin/python3
Also creating executable in /home/asinha/new/bin/python
Installing setuptools, pip, wheel...
done.
The activate with `source ...`.
If you’d like to use a virtual environment manager, pew is a good one:
$ sudo dnf install pew
$ pew new new-virtuanenv
# For more information on pew:
$ man pew
Hello,
Sorry but what is better with a virtual Environnement instead a real environnement ?
Thank you in advance for your answer,
Regards.

virtual environments allow you to have independent development spaces where you can install the necessary dependencies without causing conflicts between each other. Please read the tutorial to learn more. This isn’t quite within the scope of this forum
Hello Francisco,
Thank you for your link I will read it and saved on my laptop,
Have a nice day from France,

Wasn’t RHEL the enterprise distro with 24/7 individual support?
Aye, @azaretdodo, just a note mostly for the benefit of newcomers that may see this thread: this isn’t a ticket in the traditional sense of a “support ticket” that you file when you contact your IT people for support. This is a forum where community members spend their free time to voluntarily help each other.
Yes. “Friends” is one of the Fs in Fedora.
