To me this does not look like a missing package, but just a missing 
include. dia/app/Makefile.am is not prepared to just
#include <Python.h>

With Dia's source code dependencies are organized: only the PyDia plug-in 
(plug-ins/python/*) should include Python.h so that Dia core can be built 
without Python.

If you still insist to put your modification into app/disp_callbacks.c - 
you have to adpat app/Makefile.am to provide the Python include path. You 
could use the file plug-ins/python/Makefile.am as example.

But please be aware that a direct dependency from app/* to Python will 
disqualify your modification for upstream inclusion.

HTH,
