How to override an old sqlite3 module with pysqlite3 in django settings.py

settings.py

# ⚠️ USE AT YOUR OWN RISK
# first: pip install pysqlite3-binary
# then in settings.py:

# these three lines swap the stdlib sqlite3 lib with the pysqlite3 package
__import__('pysqlite3')
import sys
sys.modules['sqlite3'] = sys.modules.pop('pysqlite3')

DATABASES = {
    'default': {
        'ENGINE': 'django.db.backends.sqlite3',
        'NAME': os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'db.sqlite3'),
    }
}

thanks for the solution

This was helpful, worked for me as well !
I was getting following error while trying to run chromadb example code using my python3.10.8 venv3.10: File "~/venv3.10/lib/python3.10/site-packages/chromadb/__init__.py", line 36, in <module> raise RuntimeError( RuntimeError: Your system has an unsupported version of sqlite3. Chroma requires sqlite3 >= 3.35.0.
I executed following steps to resolve this error:

1. Inside my python3.10.8's virtual environment i.e. venv3.10, installed pysqlite3-binary using command: pip install pysqlite3-binary
2. Added these 3 lines in venv3.10/lib/python3.10/site-packages/chromadb/__init__.py at the beginning:

__import__('pysqlite3')
import sys
sys.modules['sqlite3'] = sys.modules.pop('pysqlite3')

worked like magic! Thank you!
