Question

sqlite3 error

import sqlite3
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File \"\", line 1, in 
  File \"/usr/local/lib/python3.3/sqlite3         


        

Answer 1

The compile package is short of something,you should use yum to install these 5,and then recompile and install python3

yum install readline-devel
yum install tk-devel
yum install tcl-devel  
yum install openssl-devel   
yum install sqlite-devel 

and then recompile the python3

tar Jxvf  Python-3.5.0.tar.xz
cd Python-3.5.0
./configure --prefix=/usr/local/python3
make && make install

Answer 2

For Python3 in Ubuntu:

• sudo apt-get install libsqlite3-dev
• wget https://www.python.org/ftp/python/3.6.3/Python-3.6.3.tar.xz (replace the version number by your python3 version)
• tar -xf Python-3.6.3.tar.xz
• cd Python-3.6.3/
• ./configure --enable-loadable-sqlite-extensions && make && sudo make install

Answer 3

I think it must be you not install sqlite3, you can do like this

 sudo apt-get install sqlite3  
 sqlite3 -version  
 sudo apt-get install python-pysqlite2  
 sudo apt-get install python-pysqlite2-dbg  
 sudo apt-get install libsqlite3-dev   
 sudo apt-get install sqlite  
 sudo pip install pysqlite 

then you will will find the sqlite3

Answer 4

I touched this problem in using compiled 3.5.7

wget https://www.python.org/ftp/python/3.5.7/Python-3.5.7.tgz
tar xvfz Python-3.5.7.tgz
cd Python-3.5.7
./configure --enable-optimizations
sudo make altinstall

# python3.5
>>> import sqlite3
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
  File "/usr/local/lib/python3.5/sqlite3/__init__.py", line 23, in <module>
    from sqlite3.dbapi2 import *
  File "/usr/local/lib/python3.5/sqlite3/dbapi2.py", line 27, in <module>
    from _sqlite3 import *
ImportError: No module named '_sqlite3'

Solution:

yum install sqlite-devel
re-compile python 3.5 from source

Answer 5

I am a Fedora 20 user. To solve this:

1. Install sqlite-devel package, using:

   yum install sqlite-devel
   

2. After installing,recompile python from the source using:

   ./configure
   make && make install
   

For multiple versions of Python, use altinstall instead of install.
