Description

Hi,
I downloaded Anaconda and tried to launch Jupyter notebook but it cannot launch giving error as below:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "D:\Lynda\Anaconda\lib\site-packages\notebook\services\sessions\sessionmanager.py", line 10, in
import sqlite3
File "D:\Lynda\Anaconda\lib\sqlite3_init_.py", line 23, in
from sqlite3.dbapi2 import *
File "D:\Lynda\Anaconda\lib\sqlite3\dbapi2.py", line 27, in
from _sqlite3 import *
ImportError: DLL load failed: The specified procedure could not be found.

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "D:\Lynda\Anaconda\Scripts\jupyter-notebook-script.py", line 6, in
from notebook.notebookapp import main
File "D:\Lynda\Anaconda\lib\site-packages\notebook\notebookapp.py", line 86, in
from .services.sessions.sessionmanager import SessionManager
File "D:\Lynda\Anaconda\lib\site-packages\notebook\services\sessions\sessionmanager.py", line 13, in
from pysqlite2 import dbapi2 as sqlite3
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'pysqlite2'

Research direction

Start with the traceback locations in notebook/services/sessions/sessionmanager.py and notebook/notebookapp.py, then inspect how sqlite3 and the pysqlite2 fallback are imported. Reproduce the Jupyter launch failure and identify a documented, testable resolution for the Windows DLL import error.
