I had the same problem with Python 3 5 on Ubuntu while using pyenv   If you re installing the python using pyenv  it s listed as one of the common build problems  To solve it  remove the installed python version  install the requirements  for this particular case libsqlite3-dev   then reinstall the python version

I got the same problem  nothing worked for me from the above ans but now I fixed it by  just remove python pip and sqlite3 and reinstall   sudo apt-get remove python pip sudo apt-get remove sqlite3   now install it again   sudo apt-get install python pip sudo apt-get install sqlite3   in my case while installing sqlite3 again it showed some error  then I typed    sqlite3    on terminal to check if it was removed or not and it started unpacking it  once the sqlite3 is installed fireup terminal and write   sqlite3 database db  to create a database    I m sure this will definitely help you

I found lots of people meet this problem because the Multi-version Python  on my own vps  cent os 7 x64   I solved it in this way    Find the file   sqlite3 so    find   -name  sqlite3 so   out    usr lib64 python2 7 lib-dynload  sqlite3 so Find the dir of python Standard library you want to use   for me  usr local lib python3 6 lib-dynload Copy the file   cp    usr lib64 python2 7 lib-dynload  sqlite3 so  usr local lib python3 6 lib-dynload    Finally  everything will be ok

Putting answer for anyone who lands on this page searching for a solution for Windows OS   You have to install pysqlite3 or db-sqlite3 if not already installed  you can use following to install    pip install pysqlite3 pip install db-sqlite3   For me the issue was with DLL file of sqlite3   Solution    I took DLL file from sqlite site  This might vary based on your version of python installation  I pasted it in the DLL directory of the env  for me it was  C  Anaconda Lib DLLs   but check for yours

I recently tried installing python 2 6 7 on my Ubuntu 11 04 desktop for some dev work  Came across similar problems to this thread  I mamaged to fix it by    Adjusting the setup py file to include the correct sqlite dev path  Code snippet from setup py   def sqlite incdir  sqlite dirs to check     os path join sqlite incdir         lib64    os path join sqlite incdir         lib    os path join sqlite incdir               lib64    os path join sqlite incdir               lib      usr lib x86 64-linux-gnu       With the bit that I added being   usr lib x86 64-linux-gnu    After running make I did not get any warnings saying the sqlite support was not built  i e   it built correctly  P    but after running make install  sqlite3 still did not import with the same  ImportError  No module named  sqlite3  whe running  import sqlite3    So  the library was compiled  but not moved to the correct installation path  so I copied the  so file  cp  usr src python Python-2 6 7 build lib linux-x86 64-2 6  sqlite3 so  usr local python-2 6 7 lib python2 6 sqlite3      these are my build paths  you will probably need to adjust them to your setup     Voila  SQLite3 support now works

My  sqlite3 so is in  usr lib python2 5 lib-dynload  sqlite3 so   Judging from your paths  you should have the file  usr local lib python2 5 lib-dynload  sqlite3 so   Try the following   find  usr local -name  sqlite3 so   If the file isn t found  something may be wrong with your Python installation   If it is  make sure the path it s installed to is in the Python path   In the Python shell   import sys print sys path   In my case   usr lib python2 5 lib-dynload is in the list  so it s able to find  usr lib python2 5 lib-dynload  sqlite3 so

I was disappointed this issue still exist till today  As I have recently been trying to install vCD CLI on CentOS 8 1 and I was welcomed with the same error when tried to run it  The way I had to resolve it in my case is as follow    Install SQLite3 from scratch with the proper prefix Make clean my Python Installation Run Make install to reinstall Python   As I have been doing this to create a different blogpost about how to install vCD CLI and VMware Container Service Extension  I have end up capturing the steps I used to fix the issue and put it in a separate blog post at   http   www virtualizationteam com cloud running-vcd-cli-fail-with-the-following-error-modulenotfounderror-no-module-named- sqlite3 html  I hope this helpful  as while the tips above had helped me get to a solution  I had to combine few of them and modify them a bit

Checking your settings py file  Did you not just write  sqlite  instead of  sqlite3  for the database engine

User · Answer

It seems your makefile didn t include the appropriate  so file  You can correct this problem with the steps below    Install sqlite-devel  or libsqlite3-dev on some Debian-based systems  Re-configure and re-compiled Python with   configure --enable-loadable-sqlite-extensions  amp  amp  make  amp  amp  sudo make install     Note  The sudo make install part will set that python version to be the system-wide standard  which can have unforseen consequences  If you run this command on your workstation  you ll probably want to have it installed alongside the existing python  which can be done with sudo make altinstall

This is what I did to get it to work   I am using pythonbrew which is using pip  with python 2 7 5 installed   I first did what Zubair above  said and ran this command   sudo apt-get install libsqlite3-dev   Then I ran this command   pip install pysqlite   This fixed the database problem and I got confirmation of this when I ran   python manager py syncdb
