If all tests ran fine then pysqlite can see your sqlite installation.
How are you importing sqlite? It's usually something like "from
pysqlite2 import dbapi2 as sqlite" not simply "import sqlite". If you
go to the test directory where everything works you can see how those
modules import it and that should definitely work for you as well.
