I made the mistake of mailing the information below from my main email
account, which Inria doesn't like and which has just been bounced.  It
addresses your response.

------------------------------
Further to this, there's a more serious problem.  The Python sqlite3
module is "Masked", or not installable without risky hackery, on 64-bit
Gentoo.  Not sure what to recommend, though I could arrange for
appropriate dev access to this system if needed for debugging.
