It would work a lot better like this ;)

from sqlite3 import *

But still it gives same error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "gcbot.py", line 39, in <module>
    from sqlite3 import *
  File "/usr/lib/python2.5/sqlite3/__init__.py", line 24, in <module>
    from dbapi2 import *
  File "/usr/lib/python2.5/sqlite3/dbapi2.py", line 27, in <module>
    from _sqlite3 import *
ImportError: No module named _sqlite3

-from _sqlite3 import *
+from sqlite3 import *

Spot the difference.

On that note

- did you compile python-2.5 w/ USE=sqlite?
- if yes, does /usr/lib/python2.5/lib-dynload/_sqlite3.so exist?
