Hi all,

Greetings from me! I am a newbie of FreeBSD, and want to use sqlite3 in python on my FreeBSD 10.3. After installing python, it prompts I should install the following additional packages:

......
===========================================================================
Note that some standard Python modules are provided as separate ports
as they require additional dependencies. They are available as:
bsddb           databases/py-bsddb
gdbm            databases/py-gdbm
sqlite3         databases/py-sqlite3
tkinter         x11-toolkits/py-tkinter
===========================================================================
From this post, it seems after installing above 4 packages, the sqlite3 should be able to work. But "impore sqlite3" still reports following errors:

>>> import sqlite3
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
  File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/sqlite3/__init__.py", line 24, in <module>
    from dbapi2 import *
  File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/sqlite3/dbapi2.py", line 28, in <module>
    from _sqlite3 import *
ImportError: No module named _sqlite3

Could anyone help on this issue? Thanks very much in advance!

Have a nice day!

P.S., I also submit this issue on SO, but unfortunately, I can't get any help from there, so I repost the question here, thanks!
