On Ubuntu you want to install something like python-sqlite (a search for "python" should turn up everything). There are 2 parts to this, SQLite and the python bindings to SQLite. So you seem to have SQLite installed but not the Python bindings. Also, on some systems you have to have python-sqlite installed, and then build python in order to use it. I'm on Gentoo so I can't help you with Ubuntu, but here's something I had lying around that uses a DB in memory (no idea why I did this or if it makes sense but you're welcome to it import sqlite3 as sqlite
