       Hello,

       in order to have the Python-SQLite support available one has to
       recompile Python. For the recompiliation to succeed a number of
       'modules/libs' have to be present.

       In the internet I found the following list

       build-essential
       libz-dev
       libreadline-dev
       libncursesw5-dev
       libssl-dev
       libgdbm-dev
       libsqlite3-dev
       libbz2-dev
       liblzma-dev
       tk-dev
       libdb-dev
       libc6-dev

       zlib

       After having installed these 'modules/libs' I recompiled Python3.6.1
       and
       although the steps

       'make', 'make test', and 'make install' produced some errors the
       sqlite3-support is available.

       My question: Is this list complete or are there superfluous items?

       My suggestion: Couldn't such a list be provided in the README file?

     If you're using Ubuntu/debian, you could use `sudo apt-get build-dep
     python3.5` (might need another version depending upon what you have in
     your package manager). What that does is install the packages required
     to build the debian packages. Unless any new libraries are needed for
     3.6, you should be good.

   I did not know somenthing like this exists.

     I can't speak for the maintainers, but I don't think that providing such
     a list is super reasonable considering that there are many different OSs
     which have sometimes have slightly different library package names
     (though of course one could argue that Ubuntu/debian helps a lot of
     people).

     Cheers,
     Thomas

   With the above my suggestion is superfluous.

   Thanks a lot for the information.
