You misunderstood: the problem is not sqlite3 it's that python needs sqlite3's header files. >> Is that a Python version that you compiled yourself? > > No I installed it with pip install python2.7 I'd never have thought of trying that -- but still: did that download binary blobs or did it invoke the C compiler? If the latter, and pip isn't smart enough to get the sqlite3 headers you need to install them by hand before letting pip do its magic. -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
