Django - No module named _sqlite3

Question

I have django 1.4 installed on my rhel 5. By default rhel 5 has python 2.4 in it but to use django 1.4 I manually installed python 2.7.3 The development server is running fine b

Answer 1

At the django.db.backends.sqlite3, it tries to

try:
    try:
        from pysqlite2 import dbapi2 as Database
    except ImportError:
        from sqlite3 import dbapi2 as Database
except ImportError as exc:
    from django.core.exceptions import ImproperlyConfigured
    raise ImproperlyConfigured("Error loading either pysqlite2 or sqlite3 modules (tried in that order): %s" % exc)

So one of the modules named sqlite3 or pysqlite2 is not installed. Try to install them

$ pip install sqlite3 # or pysqlite2

Update

sqlite3 and pysqlite2 are part of Python, therefore these two packages are not in PyPi anymore.
