I've no idea how pysqlite handles Windows-style filepaths.    Your first step 
would be to figure this out for us, using the "sqlite3" module directly:

import sqlite3

conn = sqlite3.connect('C:\Users\<username>\Desktop\snapshot.db')
cursor = conn.cursor()
cursor.execute("select * from mytable")

The URL passed to create_engine() expects forwards slashes.   You may need to 
produce a sqlalchemy.url.URL() object programatically, or we may need to add 
some compatibility features.
