I figured it out.

Details:

I had set environment variable PYTHONPATH to help Django
find the sql_server.pyodbc files needed to make a connection
to a Microsoft SQL Server DB.  This was keeping SQLite from
working properly.  When I cleared the environment variable,
SQLite works fine.

I now get no errors when I do:
    >>> import sqlite3
    >>> from sqlite3 import dbapi2

and I no longer get the error about dbapi2 when I run my
regression tests via Django.

To get the sql_server.pyodbc file to be found, I now use a
symlink:
    % ln -s django/db/backends/sql_server \
~/python/virtualenvs/hhl/lib/python2.7/site-packages/sql_server
instead of setting PYTHONPATH:
% setenv PYTHONPATH ~/python/virtualenvs/hhl/lib/python2.7/site-packages/django/db/backends

I'm getting error:

django.core.exceptions.ImproperlyConfigured:
Error loading either pysqlite2 or sqlite3 modules
(tried in that order): cannot import name dbapi2

Any suggestions?

Details:

My settings.py contains:
DATABASE = {
    'default': {
        'ENGINE': 'django.db.backends.sqlite3',
        'NAME': '/Users/fred/fred/HHL/HHLWeb/sqlite3.db'
    }
}

Works fine with other DBs (MySQL, MS SQL Server, etc.), but now
I'm trying to switch to SQLite for faster testing.

From the command line, I can see that sqlite3 is installed
(by default as part of the Django install), but seems to not
contain dbapi2:

>>> import sqlite3
>>> from sqlite3 import dbapi2
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<console>", line 1, in <module>
ImportError: cannot import name dbapi2

Any ideas for me?  Any suggestions on how to narrow down
the problem?  Any more info I should give you?

Thanks!
