I have first installed "sqlite" and then I have configure the 
"setup.cfg" file of "pysqlite" package. I had to do two things in
'pysqlite' directory:
1- python setup.py build
2- python setup.py install

It has done without any error. I suppose that the installation is well 
done, but I haven't yet test whether I can import the 'pysqlite' module 
in python. But how you mean about "PYTHONPATH"? If I do "echo 
$PYTHONPAT" i get an empty string. That meant that I don't have any 
"PYTHONPATH". How can I assign a correct "path" to this variable?
