[ckan-dev] Starting the datapusher fails with Exception about missing pysqlite2

[Johann Höchtl]

Hi,

I installed the datapusher as a mixture of the development install and 
the production install as described in

https://github.com/the42/ckan-virtualisation/blob/master/doc/datapusher.md

However, when I try to run it, it fails with an Exception

-:[/usr/lib/ckan/datapusher/src/datapusher]$> python wsgi.py
Traceback (most recent call last):

ImportError: No module named pysqlite2





==> ImportError: No module named pysqlite2

I have no ownership about the machine this is running (Gentoo box). My 
assumption is, that a site-package is missing. However

pip install -r requirements.txt
pip install -e .

ran without issues. I also wonder why sqlalchemy is trying to 
instantiate sqlite altogether when I thought it should use postgresql?

Thank you, Johann
