Python3.7 Nltk ModuleNotFoundError: No module named '_sqlite3

I'm using pipenv to manage my dependencies - here's my pipfile:

[[source]]
url = "https://pypi.org/simple"
verify_ssl = true
name = "pypi"

[packages]
elasticsearch-dsl = "*"
spacy = "*"

nltk = "*"
"pysqlite3" = "*"

[dev-packages]

[requires]
python_version = "3.7"

When trying to run an app that uses NLTK, I get the following error:

  File "/home/dell/swipe_xkcd/cron/populate_db.py", line 7, in <module>
    from scraper import xkcd_scraper

    from _sqlite3 import *
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named '_sqlite3'

How do I fix this?

I have tried sudo apt install libsqlite3-dev but that didn't work - the same error persisted.

I've also tried installing pysqlite but to no avail.

Solved

I installed my python with pyenv a while back. It didn't pick up libsqlite3-dev as I didn't have it at the time, so the solution was to reinstall python like so:

pyenv install 3.7.1
