The /usr/local heirarchy is not used by official debian/ubuntu packages,
so other people will not have the same contents in there as you.  You
must have a locally built python in /usr/local.  Check the build logs if
it has complained about not being able to build the sqlite3 module.  If
so, you can install all build dependencies for the offical python3
package by running this command:

# apt-get build-dep python3

And then rebuilding your local python3 installation.
