You need python3-cffi to run python code which uses cffi bindings -
think of it as the "lib" part. You need the devel package to generate a
python module using cffi (i.e. binding for a specific c library).

So, it makes sense for the lib package not to depend on the devel
package (which is python3-devel on Fedora).

I can't help with adapting configure to the header requirement, though.
