Problem running manage.py syncdb

[osyed]

I have Python 2.4.3.
Just installed Django 1.0 stable release.

Started going through the intro tutorial.
​http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/intro/tutorial01/

It was going smooth until I got to the "Database Setup" section.
In settings.py I set the DATABASE_ENGINE to sqlite3 and DATABASE_NAME
to full path and filename (/home/myaccount/mysite/mysite.db).

Then when I tried to run: python manage.py syncdb
I got the following error message. I don't know what I need to do to fix it.
Please help.

init.py init.pyc manage.py* settings.py settings.pyc urls.py
4youit@…:/home/4youit/mysite [110]% python manage.py syncdb

Please don't use the ticket tracker for user support questions. If you need help getting your Django install working, please ask on the django-users mailing list.

In this case, the error tells you exactly what is wrong:

 Error loading pysqlite2 module: No module named pysqlite2

You don't have pysqlite (the python wrapper around SQLite) installed.

I have a similar problem on Centos, however those modules are installed, and the wrapper and the devel package;

# yum install python-sqlite.x86_64 python-sqlite2.x86_64 python-sqlite2.x86_64 python-sqlite.x86_64
