[Thuban-list] No module sqlite in Mandrake 10

[Servio Tulio Pires Amarante]

I have compiled and successful installed Thuban, but it does start saying 
that:
$ thuban
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/local/bin/thuban", line 20, in ?
    import Thuban.UI.main
  File "/usr/local//lib/thuban/Thuban/UI/main.py", line 18, in ?
    from application import ThubanApplication
  File "/usr/local//lib/thuban/Thuban/UI/application.py", line 26, in ?
    from Thuban.Model.session import create_empty_session
  File "/usr/local//lib/thuban/Thuban/Model/session.py", line 25, in ?
    from data import ShapefileStore
  File "/usr/local//lib/thuban/Thuban/Model/data.py", line 23, in ?
    import transientdb
  File "/usr/local/lib/thuban/Thuban/Model/transientdb.py", line 21, in ?
    from sqlite import connect
ImportError: No module named sqlite

I have sqlite installed and running fine here. I have tried it with both 
rebuilt rpm or tarball packages. Any cue on what is going on?

Thanks
