I have recently had the same issue. The problem was a python sqlite3 library
missing, by the name "_sqlite3.so". If that is missing it wont work. It can
be found if present in the python directory, under the lib_dynload/
directory.
Like this for exemple: /usr/lib/python26/lib_dynload/_sqlite3.so
One way to solve this, is to install Python from source, after sqlite3 is
installed. The library will be automatically created and installed.
good luck!
