You misunderstood: the problem is not sqlite3 it's that python needs 
sqlite3's header files.

I'd never have thought of trying that -- but still: did that download binary 
blobs or did it invoke the C compiler? If the latter, and pip isn't smart 
enough to get the sqlite3 headers you need to install them by hand before 
letting pip do its magic.
