Seems a stupid question. If he wants to use SQLite... it needs to be
on the system....
No.
really...?
Python cannot check whether SQLite is installed or not.
Of course it can....
It checks
whether it can find the SQLite header files. So the SQLite source (or
the binary) is only needed for compiling Python. If you build SQLite
support as a shared library, you need the libsqlite package (not the
SQLite binary itself) at runtime. If you build it static, you don't need
SQLite at all at runtime. See Martin's answer in the same thread.
Anyway.. I think you just want to argue endlessly with silly
statements.. you're being too pedantic..
Fact is different *nux distributions come with different parts
(static/dynamic-libraries, header files etc). There is no blanket
solution that will work on every platform every time.
I know many *nix distro's work with python out of the box.. but we are
not talking about that..
Anyway.. I have work to do
Take care
David
