No, SQLite 3 has a completely different API than SQLite 2.x. If you need a Python module for it, you can use pysqlite 1.0.1. >>>Also your statement regarding sqlite3 suggests that sqlite >>>itself is not included - why not ? >> >>For the same reasons we don't include the BerkeleyDB library.

This has two advantages: - Python users can upgrade the SQLite3.DLL by a simple download from in case of emergency - we could make it so that win32 Python core developers (or the Python win32 build process) don't have to build SQLite when building Python -- Gerhard _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
