Pythin docs say that sqlite3 is included since python-2.5: https://docs.python.org/2/library/sqlite3.html But 'import sqlite3' it fails: > $ python3.5 sq.py > Traceback (most recent call last): > File "sq.py", line 1, in <module> > import sqlite3 > File "/usr/local/lib/python3.5/sqlite3/__init__.py", line 23, in <module> > from sqlite3.dbapi2 import * > File "/usr/local/lib/python3.5/sqlite3/dbapi2.py", line 27, in <module> > from _sqlite3 import * > ImportError: No module named '_sqlite3' Verified in 2.7, 3.5, 3.6.
The sqlite (like the gdbm, bsddb and tkinter modules) that depend on external/third-party libraries are separated into their own ports. lang/python* ports include a pkg-message to this effect, including instructions on how/where to get them. ------------- Note that some standard Python modules are provided as separate ports as they require additional dependencies. They are available as: bsddb databases/py-bsddb gdbm databases/py-gdbm sqlite3 databases/py-sqlite3 tkinter x11-toolkits/py-tkinter -------------
