Install pysqlite in virtualenv with python3 support

Question

I\'ve created virtualenv with:

mkvirtualenv -p /usr/bin/python3.4 django

After, I tried install pysqlite:

pip install pysql         


        

Answer 1

I'm following this procedure to include the JSON1 extension for SQLite.

When running the

python setup.py install

command for pysqlite within a virtual environment (miniconda) I receive the following output:

pysqlite is not supported on Python 3. When using Python 3, use the sqlite3 module from the standard library.

Setting

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=~/bin/jqlite/lib

doesn't change this.

Answer 2

There is no public version of pysqlite for Python 3.x. For Python 3.x, the sqlite3 module in the standard library is the most up-to date version of pysqlite there is.
