This is all useful and interesting stuff, but I don't think any of it addresses the original poster's problem, which is that he has no root access to a Linux or Unix box, and wants to get pysqlite2 working in his home directory. I have exactly the same problem. I have tried the "python setup.py install --home=~" method, and I get errors from GCC that I have no permissions (and to be honest, nor the knowledge) to overcome.
Isn't there anyway to get a Linux binary that can just be put somewhere in the Python path so we can use sqlite? Or are those of us without admin/root control of our boxes screwed? -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
