[Tutor] please help with sqlite replace function

[aivars]

Thanks, John,
Yes it seems you are right. The ActiveState python version I have
installed have sqlite 2.3.2 only. I find it strange.
I see that on a python website there is is a new version Python26
relesed. Should i go on and install Python26? I understand that I can
install pure Python from python website and after that I can install
Mark Hammonds PythonWin to get other things for windows? Or maybe I
will reinstall ActiveState Python25 and install Python25 from the
official website

Copying dll to c:\python25\DLLs directory did not help - it still
shows version sqlite version 2.3.2. which I also do not understand why

Re user defined function - it is one of the ways to go probably
quickest but I would like to have newer version of sqlite being
already with python

I am noob in Python still

Thanks for your input

Aivars
