ImportError: No module named _sqlite3 (even after doing eveything)

Question

i am using python 2.7.11 on virtualenv in lubuntu 12.04.(dont own a good laptop its dell latitude d600)

Python 2.7.11 (default, Mar  4 2016, 04:38:41)

[GCC 4.6.3] on linux2 Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.

import sqlite3 Traceback (most recent call last): File "", line 1, in File "/home/maharshi/.localpython/lib/python2.7/sqlite3/init.py", line 24, in from dbapi2 import * File "/home/maharshi/.localpython/lib/python2.7/sqlite3/dbapi2.py", line 28, in from _sqlite3 import * ImportError: No module named _sqlite3

i have installed pysqlite using pip and it says successfull.

(p2.7) maharshi@maharshi-Latitude-D600:~/code$ which python
/home/maharshi/virtualenvs/p2.7/bin/python
(p2.7) maharshi@maharshi-Latitude-D600:~/code$ which pip
/home/maharshi/virtualenvs/p2.7/bin/pip
(p2.7) maharshi@maharshi-Latitude-D600:~/code$ pip install pysqlite
Requirement already satisfied (use --upgrade to upgrade): pysqlite in /home/maharshi/virtualenvs/p2.7/lib/python2.7/site-packages

i also installed it manually at both locations i.e

~/virtualenvs/p2.7/
~/.localpython/ (from where i created the virtualenv)

i also installed "libsqlite3-dev(as suggested by one of the posts)" i.e

sudo apt-get install libsqlite3-dev

Thank you in advance.

Try doing the whole process again installing python in virtualenv...as i understand when you add the libraries needed for SqlLite it wont affect the virtualenv python so you have to re-do all the steps and it will compile with the required libraries....
