This looks like it's installed for an SCL
(https://www.softwarecollections.org/en/scls/rhscl/python27/). Are you
running the SCL python, or some other python?

You either have to run the SCL python (My guess without having an EL6
system lying around: scl enable python27) or install sqlite in whatever
python installation you're actually using.
