[gentoo-user] No module named sqlite3

[Daniel D Jones]

I'm trying to install keepnote:

http://rasm.ods.org/keepnote/

It's not in portage but there's a downloadable ebuild at the site.  Emerging 
the package, I get the following error:

File "/var/tmp/portage/app-
text/keepnote-0.6.7/work/keepnote-0.6.7/keepnote/notebook/index.py", line 33, 
in <module>
    import sqlite3  as sqlite
ImportError: No module named sqlite3

I have both sqlite and pysqlite installed.  The library _sqlite.so exists in 
directory /usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/pysqlite2/.  

From the python command line:

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
>>> import sys

>>> print sys.path
['', '/usr/lib/python26.zip', '/usr/lib/python2.6', '/usr/lib/python2.6/plat-
linux2', '/usr/lib/python2.6/lib-tk', '/usr/lib/python2.6/lib-old', 
'/usr/lib/python2.6/lib-dynload', '/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages', 
'/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/gtk-2.0', '/usr/lib/portage/pym']

>>> sys.path.append('/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/pysqlite2/')

>>> import sqlite3
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
ImportError: No module named sqlite3

>>> print sys.path
['', '/usr/lib/python26.zip', '/usr/lib/python2.6', '/usr/lib/python2.6/plat-
linux2', '/usr/lib/python2.6/lib-tk', '/usr/lib/python2.6/lib-old', 
'/usr/lib/python2.6/lib-dynload', '/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages', 
'/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/gtk-2.0', '/usr/lib/portage/pym', 
'/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/pysqlite2/']
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

I believe the python sys.path was sufficient but even adding the specific 
directory resulted in failing to import the module.

I've run python-updater, re-emerged sqlite and pysqlite and am still getting 
the error.  Any ideas or suggestions greatly appreciated.
