It's still a problem, even if it's a problem in the opposite direction than
you first thought (Python has a newer sqlite, rather than older). Updating
your API fixes the problem now, but you still need to decide how you check
for and handle newer, potentially incompatible library versions.
On Mon,
Thanks Ned.
I did double check the docs for sqlite3 after posting and wondering why the
versions were so different.
I guess the clue should have been the sqlite-3 !
Reading the history of the module I presume sqlite3 has its own module version
number as it was integrated from a separate project
Thanks Steve for the clarifications.
As a workaround placing the older sqlite3.dll in the same folder as the
_mapscript.pyd file while leaving all the other DLLs in a different folder
referenced by add_dll_directory allows for a successful import.
For a less hacky fix - after checking the versi

To clarify this - by "DLLs" I meant the DLLs directory, not DLLs in
general (hence
