You want python3.6-dev.

Note that Ubuntu 16.10 has a pre-release of Python 3.6.  You can get the
final release from Felix Krull's PPA:
https://launchpad.net/~fkrull/+archive/ubuntu/deadsnakes

    sudo add-apt-repository ppa:fkrull/deadsnakes
    sudo apt-get update
    sudo apt-get install python3.6-dev
