In the Python core version, features can only be added for major Python releases, i. e. it's bugfix-only until Python 2.6. The external version can always add new features, does not depend on Python release schedules, and is available for older Python releases as well (it works with Python 2.3 or higher). > If you install this version, how does Python knows what version to > use? They have different module names. The version in Python core is available as the module "sqlite3", while the externally maintained version is available as "pysqlite2.dbapi2". -- Gerhard _______________________________________________ pysqlite mailing list [email protected] http://lists.initd.org/mailman/listinfo/pysqlite
