Hello,
I'm using Python 2.5.1, Pysqlite 2.3.5 and SQLite 3.4.1 on Gentoo Linux.
I've always imported pysqlite using
from pysqlite2 import dbapi2
and that works. If I try
import sqlite3
I get
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
File "/usr/lib/python2.5/sqlite3/__init__.py", line 24, in <module>
from dbapi2 import *
File "/usr/lib/python2.5/sqlite3/dbapi2.py", line 27, in <module>
from _sqlite3 import *
ImportError: No module named _sqlite3
And I thought that's normal, there is no Python module called sqlite3.
Then, after a discussion in the Gentoo forum, I saw this in the Python
library reference:
> To use the module, you must first create a Connection object that
represents the database. Here the data will be stored in the /tmp/example
file:
>
> conn = sqlite3.connect('/tmp/example')
>
No import statement, though, so the module might have been renamed in that
statement. Possibly not a really good idea in the documentation.
But now I see an old post to c.p.l:

...
And from the rest of the posting that import seems to work. Has that module
different names for different Linux distributions? Or what's the matter
here?
