Description Thomas Perl (reporter) 2009-05-11 19:32:17 UTC 
I'm using version 2.5.2-15maemo2 of the "python2.5" package in the Fremantle
SDK. This bug did not happen with previous versions.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM:

[sbox-FREMANTLE_X86: ~] > python2.5
Python 2.5.2 (r252:60911, May  9 2009, 05:04:04) 
[GCC 4.2.1] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import sqlite3

EXPECTED OUTCOME:

(no error while importing the sqlite3 module - the sqlite3 module is usable as
on a normal Python 2.5 installation with sqlite3 enabled)

ACTUAL OUTCOME:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
  File "/usr/lib/python2.5/sqlite3/__init__.py", line 24, in <module>
    from dbapi2 import *
  File "/usr/lib/python2.5/sqlite3/dbapi2.py", line 27, in <module>
    from _sqlite3 import *
ImportError: No module named _sqlite3

REPRODUCIBILITY:
always

OTHER COMMENTS:

sqlite3 support in Python is required for some Python applications on Maemo,
including gPodder.

Bruno Araujo writes via e-mail:

I have verified this:

[sbox-FREMANTLE_X86: ~] > dpkg -L libsqlite3-dev
/.
/usr
/usr/include
/usr/include/sqlite3.h
/usr/include/sqlite3ext.h
/usr/lib
/usr/lib/pkgconfig
/usr/lib/pkgconfig/sqlite3.pc
/usr/share
/usr/share/doc
/usr/share/doc/libsqlite3-dev
/usr/share/doc/libsqlite3-dev/copyright
/usr/share/doc/libsqlite3-dev/README
/usr/share/doc/libsqlite3-dev/changelog.Debian.gz
/usr/lib/libsqlite3.so

Only the shared library is installed there. The relevant Debian ChangeLog entry
is this:

sqlite3 (3.6.10-0maemo0) stable; urgency=low

  * Upgraded to upstream 3.6.10
  * Using tarball instead of uncompressed sources
  * Removed static libraries
  * F i x e s : N B # 93828 sqlite3 command line tool doesn't work in
scratchbox

("Removed static libraries" is the relevant part here)
Comment 1 Thomas Perl (reporter) 2009-05-11 19:47:27 UTC 
This bug does not happen in python2.5 version 2.5.2-11.1maemo3+0m5.
Comment 2 Thomas Perl (reporter) 2009-05-12 17:05:03 UTC 
According to Ivan Frade, the new sqlite3 package will include the static
libraries in the -dev package:

> I plan to integrate a new version of sqlite3 soon (this week), and it
> will include the static libraries in the -dev package.

After that, I think python2.5 can be re-built with SQLite3 support, or is there
still something left to do?
Comment 3 Anderson Lizardo 2009-05-12 17:19:13 UTC 
Nothing else left, we are just waiting for the updated sqlite package, after
which we will revert the patch and upload a new python2.5 package.
Comment 4 Soumya nokia 2009-05-22 11:08:20 UTC 
sqlite3 version 3.6.14-1maemo1+0m5 uploaded to Fremantle beta repository.
Comment 5 Ivan Frade nokia 2009-05-22 15:14:57 UTC 
That version should include the static libraries.
Comment 6 Thomas Perl (reporter) 2009-05-22 22:39:56 UTC 
Ok, the update is now out. After a rebuild of Python with SQLite support, and
upload to the repos, this ticket can be closed :)
Comment 7 Bruno Araujo 2009-05-22 22:48:29 UTC 
I've fixed python2.5 and sent it to the autobuilder, hopefully it'll be on
extras-devel soon :-)

The version uploaded was 2.5.2-15maemo3.
