I was thinking something like this.

import sqlite3
con = sqlite3.connect('MyDatabase.db')

execresult = None
try:
    execresult = con.execute('INSERT INTO MyTable (field_name) VALUES
("MyValue")')
    con.commit()
finally:
    if not execresult:
        print 'Rollback'
        con.rollback()

This way you can have a rollback and still see an exception.
