Google app engine: parse a sql database - sql

Question

I have a MyFile entity with sql db file:
class MyFile(ndb.Model):
data = ndb.BlobProperty()
data property store sql db file. So in requestHandler I need to parse this file.
I am trying to using standard sqlite3 library, but getting error on gae side:
ImportError: No module named _sqlite3
With PyDbLite library I am getting error too:
from PyDbLite.SQLite import Database, Table
File "libs/PyDbLite/SQLite.py", line 81, in <module>
from pysqlite2 import dbapi2 as sqlite
Is there any way to parse sql database in goggle app engine?
I know that gae uses NoSQL datastore, I just need to handle sql db file.

Answer 1

The module _sqlite3 may be in your python path locally, but when deployed, the module cannot be found. You can debug your python path by printing it when in production and making sure the module is visible on that path (keep in mind that any old file or folder isn't considered a module ready for import by python, it needs to have __init__.py).
The only reason you would receive that error is if you either
A) failed to upload the module you're using as part of your project, mistakenly believing that since it was visible to your local python code it should be visible when deployed
or
B) failed to reference the uploaded module correctly. My comments in the first paragraph should help you debug this case.
