How can I import the sqlite3 module into Python 2.4?

Question

The sqlite3 module is included in Python version 2.5+. However, I am stuck with version 2.4. I uploaded the sqlite3 module files, added the directory to sys.path, but I get the following error when I try to import it:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
  File "sqlite3/__init__.py", line 23, in ?
    from dbapi2 import *
  File "sqlite3/dbapi2.py", line 26, in ?
    from _sqlite3 import *
ImportError: No module named _sqlite3

The file '_sqlite3' is in lib-dynload, but if I include this in the sqlite3 directory, I get additional errors.

Any suggestions? I am working in a limited environment; I don't have access to GCC, among other things.

Answer 1

I had same problem with CentOS and python 2.4

My solution:

yum install python-sqlite2

and try following python code

try:
    import sqlite3
except:
    from pysqlite2 import dbapi2 as sqlite3

Answer 2

Did you install it? That often works better than messing with sys.path .

python setup.py install

If so, you should then find it.

If, for some reason, you can't install it, set the PYTHONPATH environment variable. Do not make a habit of messing with sys.path .

Answer 3

You will need to install pysqlite . Notice, however, that this absolutely does require a compiler, unless you can find binaries for it (and Python 2.4) on the net. Using the 2.5 binaries will not be possible.

Answer 4

您必须首先正确安装sqlite，sqlite-devel，python-sqlite，然后重新编译Python。
