Error when running on Windows: sqlite3.OperationalError: no such module: fts4

[monocongo]

I am on a Windows 10 machine using Anaconda with fuzzymatcher installed from PyPI:

$ conda list | grep fuzzy
fuzzymatcher              0.0.5                    pypi_0    pypi
fuzzywuzzy                0.18.0                   pypi_0    pypi

When I run a Python script that uses fuzzymatcher I get the following error:

$ python match_addresses.py -c C:/home/data/good_addresses.csv -u C:/home/data/unmatched_addresses.csv
Traceback (most recent call last):

    con.execute(sql)
sqlite3.OperationalError: no such module: fts4

I have installed sqlite_fts4 but this hasn't helped.

$ conda list | grep fts4
sqlite-fts4               0.5.2                    pypi_0    pypi

I've even uninstalled fuzzymatcher and the reinstalled it fresh, thinking that maybe it finds the fts4 goodies it needs when installing but no luck, same error when I try again after doing that.

I do not have the same error when I run this code in the Windows Subsystem for Linux (Ubuntu 20.04) so I think this is a Windows-specific issue.

Thanks in advance for any suggestions on how to resolve this issue. In any event thanks to all the developers of this package, it's quite useful!

Hi!

I was using this package without any problems until I updated some packages in my environment and now I'm having this issue. I'm not sure which package blew this off.
Have you figured out how to solve it?

Thanks!

Interesting.
I also have Windows 10 Pro 19043.1052.
I solved the issue by uninstalling Python 9.5.6 (which I installed by mistake) and keeping Python 3.8.8. Not sure why it's not working for you.
