You need to match the dll to your Python build, not to the Windows OS build. I note that the official sqlite download page does NOT have a simple 64-bit build available. This together with your trouble trying to use the DLL implies to me that you're probably running 64-bit Python 2.7 which cannot directly use a 32-bit dll. Am I right in thinking you're using 64-bit Python build? > Python27\DLLs>regsvr32 sqlite3.dll > > the module"sqlite3.dll" was loaded but the entry-point DllRegisterServer > was not found > > make sure that sqlite3.dll is a valid dll or ocx file then try again > Why are you trying to register the dll? It's not a COM/ActiveX server, it's just a plain DLL. All you need to do is replace the old with the new. Done. Nothing else. ...so other than the attempted registering the new dll fail I also get a > ASCII error related to _init_ > > Installed sqlite 3.7.17 by itself and running from cmd line pointing to > FFox db - it works! so by itself the new sqlite 3.7.17 version works, now > to hammer it into py 2.7.5... > For reference, if you're indeed using a 64-bit build of Python, I've managed to track down a 64-bit build of the sqlite3.dll here: http://synopse.info/files/SQLite3-64.7z For reference, this was via the following page so is apparently legit: http://blogs.embarcadero.com/davidi/2013/01/25/42392 Aside, I notice the DLL file is compressed with 7Zip, so you'll need 7Zip (or another archiver that supports the 7z format) to decompress it: http://www.7-zip.org/ Alternatively to all the above, you can build a 64-bit DLL yourself. ;) Here's a relevant stack overflow question if you're interested in that rabbit hole...: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/10978020/compiling-sqlite-for-windows-64-bit Personally though, I'd suggest just using 32-bit Python unless you have a *really* good reason not to do so.
