No module named '_sqlite3'
TLDR
Exception kept happening on a debian server. I fixed it with:
sudo apt-get install python-dev
sudo apt-get install libsqlite3-dev
And recompile python (see own post)
Long version
So, I was starting a django app (1.7.1 with Python 3.4),
python manage.py migrate
when i encountered
django.core.exceptions.ImproperlyConfigured:
Error loading either pysqlite2 or sqlite3 modules (tried in that order):
No module named '\_sqlite3'
Did not expect this. I have heard rumers that sqlite3 has been included with python for quite some time. But OK. Let’s install it
pip3.4 install pysqlite
That should fix it, yep? Nope.
File "/home/tomas/optimaltrener/env/build/pysqlite/setup.py", line 85
print "Is sphinx installed? If not, try 'sudo easy_install sphinx'."
So the pysqlite does not support Python3+ (since its using that old syntax)? huh. Googling around said Python3+ (and earlier) should already be delivered with an appropriate sqlite3. But that didn’t seem to do it. But i found this and this, which lead me to
sudo apt-get install libsqlite3-dev
sudo apt-get install python-dev
Followed by recompiling python3.4 (see own post), which fixed everything.
Finally :D
