Question

python2.7 and sqlite3 were installed by homebrew on macos 10.8
pysqlite is installed by pip

when I type import sqlite3 in python interapter, it show errors below:

>>> import sqlite3
Traceback (most recent call last):

how to correct that error?

Answer 1

The solution is to uninstall both the sqlite as well as python kegs:

brew rm sqlite python

and then reinstall Python (which also installs SQLite3 as its dependency):

brew install python
