When is Fedora going up to the more current versions of Python 2.5 and Sqlite? I asked because I spent several hours today reading online documentation on the two suites at python.org. I then spent a hour trying to figure out why my code was failing. Turned out that the version of the python wrapper for sqlite is older that the currently maintained branch, and is also a poorly documented version. I eventually found out that the module I was reading up on in Python (sqlite3) was only in 2.5. However, and luckily, the more updated version of the wrapper was in the yum repos. However it was named python-sqlite2 while there was also a package called sqlite2 which seems to be an older version of sqlite. So to summarize: sqlite is sqlite3 sqlite2 seems to be the predecessor of sqlite3 python-sqlite is an older sparsely documented version of the wrapper python-sqlite2 is the updated version of the wrapper and the sqlite3 python module does not appear to exist in any repo. I eventually solved the problem with some help over at #fedora, #python and google.com It would be nice if the RPM package descriptions at least explained some of this. I did do several yum info queries in an attempt to find out what I needed, but the descriptions are all quite generic. Thank you. Arthur Pemberton -- Fedora Core 6 and proud
