How can I add the sqlite3 module to Python?

I have python 2.7.3 and this solved my problem:

pip install pysqlite

Normally, it is included. However, as @ngn999 said, if your python has been built from source manually, you’ll have to add it.

Here is an example of a script that will setup an encapsulated version (virtual environment) of Python3 in your user directory with an encapsulated version of sqlite3.

INSTALL_BASE_PATH="$HOME/local"
cd ~
mkdir build
cd build
[ -f Python-3.6.2.tgz ] || wget https://www.python.org/ftp/python/3.6.2/Python-3.6.2.tgz
tar -zxvf Python-3.6.2.tgz

[ -f sqlite-autoconf-3240000.tar.gz ] || wget https://www.sqlite.org/2018/sqlite-autoconf-3240000.tar.gz
tar -zxvf sqlite-autoconf-3240000.tar.gz

cd sqlite-autoconf-3240000
./configure --prefix=${INSTALL_BASE_PATH}
make
make install

cd ../Python-3.6.2
LD_RUN_PATH=${INSTALL_BASE_PATH}/lib configure
LDFLAGS="-L ${INSTALL_BASE_PATH}/lib"
CPPFLAGS="-I ${INSTALL_BASE_PATH}/include"
LD_RUN_PATH=${INSTALL_BASE_PATH}/lib make
./configure --prefix=${INSTALL_BASE_PATH}
make
make install

cd ~
LINE_TO_ADD="export PATH=${INSTALL_BASE_PATH}/bin:$PATH"
if grep -q -v "${LINE_TO_ADD}" $HOME/.bash_profile; then echo "${LINE_TO_ADD}" >> $HOME/.bash_profile; fi
source $HOME/.bash_profile

Why do this? You might want a modular python environment that you can completely destroy and rebuild without affecting your managed package installation. This would give you an independent development environment. In this case, the solution is to install sqlite3 modularly too.

For Python version 3:

pip install pysqlite3 

if you have error in Sqlite built in python you can use Conda to solve this conflict

conda install sqlite

For Windows + Conda users: you have to download the sqlite3 dll, uncompress and copy the file into the DLL dir in Conda installion path
