[Trac] 'module' object has no attribute 'connect'

[Jeffrey E. Forcier]

You probably don't have the right version of py-sqlite, I had the  
same error a week ago, and after investigation it seems there are two  
fairly different versions of that library.

Now, I'm using DarwinPorts on Mac OS X, so I don't know if this is  
their fault or the upstream maintainers' fault, but in case it's the  
latter, I'll explain the problem I had.

In my package list I have *two* oddly-named/versioned instances of py- 
sqlite, as follows:

py-sqlite    python/py-sqlite    2.0.3    python database extension  
for sqlite
py-sqlite2    python/py-sqlite2    1.0.1    python database extension  
for sqlite2

Further confusing the matter is that there's two versions of SQLite  
itself:

sqlite    databases/sqlite    2.8.15    an embedded SQL database engine
sqlite3    databases/sqlite3    3.2.1    an embedded SQL database engine

Anyway, what Trac appears to expect is SQLite 2.x with py-sqlite2 1.x.

The difference is that py-sqlite2 implements the Python Database API  
2.0 (PEP 249, http://www.python.org/peps/pep-0249.html) which is what  
the Trac python code uses, and py-sqlite does not. So, you're  
probably using py-sqlite, which doesn't have a 'pysqlite.connect()'  
function, thus generating the error you see.


I hope this helps instead of just being a bunch of junk :)

Regards,
Jeff
