I installed the source code on unix for python 2.5.1. The install went mainly okay, except for some failures regarding: _ssl, _hashlib, _curses, _curses_panel.
No errors regarding sqlite3. However, when I start python and do an import sqlite3 I get: /ptmp/bin/> python Python 2.5.1 (r251:54863, May 29 2007, 05:19:30) [GCC 3.3.2] on sunos5 Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. >>> import sqlite3 Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module> File "/ptmp/Python-2.5.1/lib/python2.5/sqlite3/__init__.py", line 24, in <module> from dbapi2 import * File "/ptmp/Python-2.5.1/lib/python2.5/sqlite3/dbapi2.py", line 27, in <module> from _sqlite3 import * ImportError: No module named _sqlite3 -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
