I have installed both python 3.9 and sqlite 3.33.0 by compiling from source code.

As shown below:

sqlite3

$ sqlite3 --version

3.33.0 2020-08-14 13:23:32...

Python

$ python3 --version

Python 3.9.0

However, when I check in python it showed:

>>> import sqlite3
>>> sqlite3.sqlite_version 
'3.7.17

After some reading, i have tried

$ which sqlite3
/usr/local/bin/sqlite3

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/bin

But this still have not resolved to the issue.

How do I get Python to use my own installation of sqlite?

Any help will be appreciated!

Update

I was able to get python3.9 to use my own installation of sqlite3 by recompiling python with this answer

As you've may already figured out, each version of Python comes with the latest SQLite included so often you are not required to install it manually. Unless this is for a specific use-case, I would highly discourage the use of using your own one.

To solve your current problem (which has been asked many times before), see the answer here - Python sqlite3: run different sqlite3 version.

You can also set up a customer interpreter for this case, see this for instructions.
