I'm trying to write a little program that uses the full text search extension
module for sqlite with Python 2.7 on Snow Leopard. I installed Python by
downloading the DMG file from python.org. According to the Python docs
(http://docs.python.org/library/sqlite3.html#sqlite3.Connection.enable_load_extension),
2.7 should include the functions for handling extension modules, but when I
try to use them they are not defined (I get an AttributeError when I call the
related methods on the Connection object).
In Modules/_sqlite/connection.c I see that there is an #ifdef for
HAVE_LOAD_EXTENSION, which is in turn only defined if both the version number
is high enough and SQLITE_OMIT_LOAD_EXTENSION is not set.
I think the problem is that the build of Python in the DMG I download was
created with an old version of the SQLite libraries:
farnsworth:dhellmann:~:503 $ which python
/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/bin/python
farnsworth:dhellmann:~:501 $ python
Python 2.7 (r27:82508, Jul 3 2010, 21:12:11)
[GCC 4.0.1 (Apple Inc. build 5493)] on darwin
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import sqlite3
>>> sqlite3.version_info
(2, 6, 0)
Can anyone confirm that the installer image for OS X 10.5 and later
(http://python.org/ftp/python/2.7/python-2.7-macosx10.5.dmg) was created with
an old SQLite library? Is there some way to update that DMG, or do I need to
build Python from source myself?
Thanks,
Doug
