[mattip]

New submission from mattip <matti.picus at gmail.com>:

import sqlite3 fails in latest win32 beta release

pypy-2.0-beta2\pypy.exe
Python 2.7.3 (3eef596df459, Apr 06 2013, 12:40:10)
[PyPy 2.0.0-beta2 with MSC v.1500 32 bit] on win32
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
And now for something completely different: ``in theory there is the Loop, in
practice there are bridges''
>>>> import sqlite3
Traceback (most recent call last):

    raise OSError("library not found: %r" % (name,))
OSError: library not found: 'sqlite3'
>>>>

But if I comment out the name test in _make_ffi_library in api.py all is good.

    backend = ffi._backend
    try:
        #if '.' not in name and '/' not in name:
        #    raise OSError
        backendlib = backend.load_library(name, flags)
    except OSError:

Why don't we just let backend.load_library do it's thing?
