This is a binary installation package for the pysqlite extension module 
for Python, version 1.0.1, built for the OS/2+EMX port of Python 2.4.

pysqlite is an interface to the SQLite embedded SQL database package,
and includes a Python DB-API 2.0 compatible wrapper module.

Please read README.pysqlite and LICENSE.pysqlite.

With SQLite the entire database engine is implemented in a library, and
SQLite based applications can be used in the same way the dBase and
MS Access applications can be used, individually and across a network.
There is no server process or system, as there is with PostgreSQL, MySQL,
DB/2 etc.

Please refer to the README.pysqlite file for more information about the 
pysqlite module.

The source archive (pysqlite-1.0.1.tar.gz) this package is based on 
was found at http://pysqlite.sourceforge.net/.  No source modifications 
were necessary, and there are no failures when running the regression 
test.

The only modification to the Distutils setup.py script was to add 
information about library names and locations.

This module requires SQLITE28.DLL, which is available separately from 
the Hobbes archive or my website (in the libraries section) in 
sqlite-2.8.*-os2.zip (* is 15 at time of writing).  You must install this 
DLL before you can use this package.

You need the Python 2.4 port installed before you can install this 
package - you should be able to get it where you obtained this archive.  
pysqlite depends on the eGenix mxBase package, for which a binary 
installation which should also be obtainable from the same source as 
this package.

To install (assuming a working Python installation), change to the 
directory containing the install script (install.cmd), and execute the 
script.

Please let me know if you encounter any problems with the installation 
package.  Bug reports about pysqlite should be directed as specified on 
the pysqlite home page.

This software is provided 'as-is', without any express or implied warranty.
In no event will the packager be held liable for any damages arising from 
the use of the software.
