I've been using

     import sqlite3 as sqlite

here

sqlite3 and sqlite3.dbapi2 seem to be the same thing

    Python 2.5.1 (r251:54863, Aug 17 2007, 00:51:07)
    [GCC 4.1.3 20070812 (prerelease) (Debian 4.1.2-15)] on linux2
    Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
    >>> from sqlite3 import dbapi2
    >>> import sqlite3
    >>> set(dir(sqlite3)) ^ set(dir(dbapi2))
    set(['__path__', 'dbapi2'])
    >>>
