Description:
1. Start WB5.2
2. Click on MySQL Doc Library
3. An Error pops up with the following text:
Cannot Open Documentation Library
pysqlite2 is not installed, please install python-sqlite2 or pysqlite2 to be able to use this feature.

There is a python-sqlite package for RHEL5, but not for RHEL6. There is also no python-sqlite2 package available.

How to repeat:

Experiencing similar problem?  I am trying to install the deb file and get the error:

Dependency is not satisfiable: python-pysqlite2 

Using 10.10, distribution updated and everything.

Sorry, mine is Ubuntu not RHEL, but the issue is the same, no?

Ubuntu has that package, you just need to enable the right repository

As a workaround for Linux users that don't have that package, run the following command from a terminal:
sudo easy_install pysqlite

Fixed as of 5.2.36:
+        On Linux, viewing the embedded documentation required the
+        python-sqlite2 package.
