cffi functions may fail in various ways: cannot parse declarations, cannot verify with the compiler, library or function not found... At cffi level it makes sense to have different kinds of errors. Now, at the library level that's another thing. _sqlite3.py should catch common errors and raise ImportError instead, but only for errors related to the machine installation. -- Amaury Forgeot d'Arc
