why i failed to build sqlite3 when build python?

Question

why i just failed to build sqlite?

does it have something to do with readline or _tkinter, or something else?

Python build finished, but the necessary bits to build these modules were not found:

To find the necessary bits, look in setup.py in detect_modules() for the module's name.

There is a patch that can be found (and is discussed) at the following address: http://bugs.python.org/issue14572

I had the exact same problem as the original poster, and the patch resolved it.

To apply the patch, from terminal in your python 2.7.3 directory:

curl -sk https://gist.github.com/msabramo/2727063/raw/59ea097a1f4c6f114c32f7743308a061698b17fd/gistfile1.diff | patch -p1
