COINMARKETCAP SENSOR: ImportError: You must install the python package: sqlite3

Configuration
1

Hello everyone,

I’m having issues with the Coinmarketcap sensor that persist since 0.55. Before everything went fine. Somehow there seems to be an issue with sqlite and error logs suggest to install python package sqlite. I’ve tried:

sudo apt-get install sqlite3

and

sudo apt-get install libsqlite3

but did not solve the issue. Can anyone help?

THE LOGS:

Its looking for a python package rather than a system one, so inside your virtual environment, I think you need to do

pip3 install sqlite3
3

Thanks for you fast reply, @gpbenton. I’ve already tried your solution (sorry, forgot to mention that in my post). When I run your suggested command it gives me:

pip3 install sqlite3
Collecting sqlite3
  Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement sqlite3 (from versions: )
No matching distribution found for sqlite3

What makes me wonder is the fact that it was working fine until 0.55. Even on the latest 0.57 release this issue persists.

Still errors in 0.57.3

Hey @Bob_NL,

0.57.3 also changed nothing for me but this seems to be a known issue with the coinmarketcap sensor. I’ve opened an issue on Github that has been closed recently due being a duplicate. They’ve left open this issue so maybe you wanna have a look at it to see if there is progress.

By the way: I’m no longer getting the error about the missing sqlite3 package but another problem occured: sqlite3.OperationalError: unable to open database file
