Mac OSX sqlite problem. Missing?

[ricardo.turpino]

Hi,

I've installed Mac Python 2.5. I'm running Mac OS X 10.4.10 on a
Macbook 1.83GHz. I though that the python sqlite library was
installed by default as part of Mac Python 2.5, however, I still have
a problem.

Sqlite does not appear to be my system:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
ImportError: No module named sqlite

I ran 'sudo easy_install pysqlite' which gave me the file
'pysqlite-2.3.5-py2.5-macosx-10.3-fat.egg', but no working pysqlite.

I then downloaded the source files and ran 'python ez_setup.py
pysqlite==2.3.5', which told me 'Using /Library/Frameworks/
Python.framework/Versions/2.5/lib/python2.5/site-packages/
pysqlite-2.3.5-py2.5-macosx-10.3-fat.egg'

Still no working version of pysqlite.

Tried installing from source. No problems appeared, but I still can't
use pysqlite.

The reason I am trying to install pysqlite, is to use turbogears,
which initially failed when I ran 'tg-admin sql create', it failed
with 'import sqlite. ImportError: No module named sqlite'.

Any ideas gratefully received.

Thanks.

Are you by any chance using the python 2.3 when issuing that import
statement?

Isn't it sqlite3 (instead of sqlite)?

I also see it under that name in the repository:

The problem is that the user is trying to install the turbogears
framework, and 'tg-admin' tries to import sqlite (not sqlite3)

He's getting this error:
'import sqlite. ImportError: No module named sqlite'.

Without changing the turbogears code, what should he do? Set up a
symbolic link from 'sqlite3' to 'sqlite' ?

An alternative would be to create a local sqlite.py (importable by tg)
containing

from sqlite3 import *

though this may not work with an extension module if namespace tricks
are invoked.
