Python3, ImportError: No module named '_sqlite3'

[Craig Rodrigues]

Hi,

I did the following on a FreeBSD 10.2 system:

pkg install lang/python35

python3.5 -c "import sqlite3"

and got this error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<string>", line 1, in <module>
ImportError: No module named 'sqlite'
[rodrigc at rodrigc-laptop1 portingdb]% python3.5 -c "import sqlite3"
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<string>", line 1, in <module>
  File "/usr/local/lib/python3.5/sqlite3/__init__.py", line 23, in <module>
    from sqlite3.dbapi2 import *
  File "/usr/local/lib/python3.5/sqlite3/dbapi2.py", line 27, in <module>
    from _sqlite3 import *
ImportError: No module named '_sqlite3'


For python2.7, I notice that this error is not there, because
the databases/py-sqlite3 port provides
/usr/local/lib/python2.7/lib-dynload/_sqlite3.so .

What is the workaround for Python 3.5?

Thanks.
