Well - you might be able to accept that, but I'm not sure I can! If it
was working before, it must be compiled in, and so it must be possible
to make it work again.

http://www.sqlite.org/foreignkeys.html#fk_enable seems to suggest that
"PRAGMA foreign_keys = ON" never returns anything, and it's only
"PRAGMA foreign_keys" which returns 0, 1 or None (when unsupported).
With that in mind, does the following code work?

# open database file

self.geologger_db = sqlite3.connect('geologger.mgc')
self.db_cursor = self.geologger_db.cursor()
self.db_cursor.execute("PRAGMA foreign_keys = ON")
self.db_cursor.execute("PRAGMA foreign_keys")
print self.db_cursor.fetchone()
