Question

Current System: Windows XP / Windows 7 (problem occuring for both)

After following the guidelines for deployment from the following:

https://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/python

and by testing by using a simple poll application I am successfully able to push the application through heorku except that after checking the logs the following error appears:

2012-04-27T08:14:42+00:00 app[web.1]: django.core.exceptions.ImproperlyConfigure
d: Error loading either pysqlite2 or sqlite3 modules (tried in that order): No m
odule named _sqlite3

This also occurs when attempting to sync the database.

Here is the current configuration of the database in the settings.py file:

DATABASES = {
    'default': {
        'ENGINE': 'django.db.backends.sqlite3', # Add 'postgresql_psycopg2', 'mysql', 'sqlite3' or 'oracle'.
        'NAME': 'database.sqlite', # Or path to database file if using sqlite3.
        'USER': '', # Not used with sqlite3.
        'PASSWORD': '', # Not used with sqlite3.
        'HOST': '', # Set to empty string for localhost. Not used with sqlite3.
        'PORT': '', # Set to empty string for default. Not used with sqlite3.
    }
}

I am aware is it a sqlite3 database, and I have been told that it should still allow heroku to deploy the app without any errors.
I have followed through using the following potential solutions that are related to this problem:

No module named _sqlite3
How do I set up SQLite with a Django project?

Any help will be appreciated! Please let me know if additional Information is needed.

Heroku does not support sqlite, since it only provides a read-only filesystem.
