No module named '_sqlite3' error
Question: Python 2.6 and Django 1.6 was installed on the server (Suse). I installed
Python 3.4 and Django 1.7.

I can run

> django-admin.py startproject hi

Once I run any command related to manage.py like

> python manage.py syncdb

I will get this error

    django.core.exceptions.ImproperlyConfigured: Error loading either pysqlite2 or sqlite3 modules (tried in that order): No module named '_sqlite3' 
    

according to [Install pysqlite in virtualenv with python3
support](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/23181197/install-pysqlite-in-
virtualenv-with-python3-support) There is no public version of pysqlite for
Python 3.x.

Also, I installed sqlite-autoconf-3080704. and still I get the same error
message.

how can I solve it?


Answer: You seem to have only a minimum installation of Python 3. If you're using
Debian or a Debian-based system like Ubuntu, you can do `apt-get install
python3` to install the full version.
