Can someone tell me how to install the sqlite3 module alongside the most recent version of Python? I am using a Macbook, and on the command line, I tried:
pi
if you have error in Sqlite built in python you can use Conda to solve this conflict
conda install sqlite
Normally, it is included. However, as @ngn999 said, if your python has been built from source manually, you'll have to add it.
Here is an example of a script that will setup an encapsulated version (virtual environment) of Python3 in your user directory with an encapsulated version of sqlite3.
INSTALL_BASE_PATH="$HOME/local"
cd ~
mkdir build
cd build
[ -f Python-3.6.2.tgz ] || wget https://www.python.org/ftp/python/3.6.2/Python-3.6.2.tgz
tar -zxvf Python-3.6.2.tgz
[ -f sqlite-autoconf-3240000.tar.gz ] || wget https://www.sqlite.org/2018/sqlite-autoconf-3240000.tar.gz
tar -zxvf sqlite-autoconf-3240000.tar.gz
cd sqlite-autoconf-3240000
./configure --prefix=${INSTALL_BASE_PATH}
make
make install
cd ../Python-3.6.2
LD_RUN_PATH=${INSTALL_BASE_PATH}/lib configure
LDFLAGS="-L ${INSTALL_BASE_PATH}/lib"
CPPFLAGS="-I ${INSTALL_BASE_PATH}/include"
LD_RUN_PATH=${INSTALL_BASE_PATH}/lib make
./configure --prefix=${INSTALL_BASE_PATH}
make
make install
cd ~
LINE_TO_ADD="export PATH=${INSTALL_BASE_PATH}/bin:\$PATH"
if grep -q -v "${LINE_TO_ADD}" $HOME/.bash_profile; then echo "${LINE_TO_ADD}" >> $HOME/.bash_profile; fi
source $HOME/.bash_profile
Why do this? You might want a modular python environment that you can completely destroy and rebuild without affecting your operating system–for an independent development environment. In this case, the solution is to install sqlite3 modularly too.
You don't need to install sqlite3 module. It is included in the standard library (since Python 2.5).
For Python version 3:
pip install pysqlite3
I have python 2.7.3 and this solved my problem:
pip install pysqlite
