Sorry, I have a knack for making things more difficult than they need to be. I'm on Windows XP and waiting for the ActiveState release of Python 2.5. I want to experiment with sqlite and I see that Python 2.5 has the wrapper but sqlite itself must be downloaded separately. I see no installation

Either way I need to know where to put the sqlite files, right? not if you're using a proper release, no. the easiest way to unbreak your ActiveState installation is probably to install the python.org version, and copy c:\Python25\DLLs\_sqlite3.pyd and
