Thanks, but either I'm missing something or you're missing something. I can't do any of what you describe on the machine I want to use sqlite on. I have downloaded the binary sqlite3 file from sqlite's Web site, and I can use it with shell scripts and via the command line with no problem. The issue is that I don't seem to have any way available to me to use the pysqlite2 Python module. When I try the "python setup.py --install --home=somewhere" installation, it blows up on GCC errors that I do not have the permissions to even attempt to fix. What I was asking above was whether there was a way do download the pysqlite2 module as files that I can just copy into a directory that Python thinks is part of its path so I can use it without having to compile or build it in any way on that machine.
