Importing a specific module thats not part of my current Python 2.X version-Collection of common programming errors

My webhost where our website is runs Python 2.4 & the website uses the SQLite3 python module (which is only part of Python 2.5 & up). This means that I cant use the module SQLite3 because its not part of Python 2.4.

Is there a way for me to upload the python SQLite3 module myself & just import/refernce that in my script? Do you know how I would do this?

Usually I would just install Python25 on my webhost home directory, but this webhost wont allow me to do this.

Is there any way I can just upload & import a specific module – coming from c++ it seems this must be possible right? Because in C++ I spend my whole life writting libraries & just importing specific parts of them & importing specific classes of a namespace & etc.

  1. This very much depends about how much control your webhost gives you about the Python environment. For normal shared hosting, the runtime Python environment is fixed.
