On my most recent build (end of last year), sqlite did NOT install
any python modules. For python3, rebuilding added
/usr/lib/python3.8/lib-dynload/_sqlite3.cpython-38-x86_64-linux-gnu.so
/usr/lib/python3.8/lib-dynload/_uuid.cpython-38-x86_64-linux-gnu.so
Those did not get installed by sqlite, unless you build sqlite
differently from how BLFS builds it.

For typical server packages, python doesn't need to be rebuilt. But
sqlite does not install anything in the pythons' lib-dynload or
site-packages.
