OK, I'll bite; I can't understand what this thread is all about. The Activestate Python 2.5 distribution is not yet available. (1) Why is the effbot saying that a not-yet available distribution is broken? (2) The OP says he has downloaded sqlite*.* from the sqlite.org website ... without saying why he thought he needed to nor which Windows Python he is planning to run it with: (a) Activestate 2.5 -- not-yet-available (b) python.org 2.5-- *includes* the sqlite3 stuff; Pythonwin is as the effbot said in effect only a download and a double-click away ... (c) <any_brand> 2.4 -- needs pysqlite etc What am I missing? Oh, possibly """ I see that Python 2.5 has the "wrapper" but sqlite itself must be downloaded separately. """ Looks like it could be from reading some build-Python-from-source instructions for Unix platforms ... Bewilderedly yours. John -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
