Oh, your traceback gave it away: you have a version conflict. You have installed some old version of sqlite in your local dist-packages directory when you already have sqlite3 included in your python2.6 distribution and don't need and probably can't use the old sqlite version. First try:

$ python -c "import sqlite3"

and if that doesn't give you an error, uninstall your dist-package:

easy_install -mxN sqlite

and then import sqlite3 in your code instead and have fun.
