Hi Volker, Starting from formal assumptions, this is indisputably true: Pyspatialite simply is an unpleasant fork of PySqlite. Anyway reality very often is surprisingly different from theory: unhappily, on the vast majority of Linux distros, PySqlite forbids using SpatiaLite at all, because dynamic loading of any external extension is actually disabled. So standing things, PySpatialite is a mandatory component for QGIS: it's the unique affordable and reliable Python connector effectively supporting SpatiaLite on every possible platform. and Python plug-ins supporting SpatiaLite aren't at all "rare birds" in QGIS. bye Sandro _______________________________________________ Qgis-developer mailing list [email protected] http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/qgis-developer
