problems with python 2.7.3 on Centos with sqlite3 module

Question

i'm tying to play with sqlite3 on my centos server but it reports always the same error (module installed)....

Python 2.7.3 (default, Jun 29 2012, 19:03:18) 
[GCC 4.4.6 20110731 (Red Hat 4.4.6-3)] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import sqlite3
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
  File "sqlite3/__init__.py", line 24, in <module>
    from dbapi2 import *
  File "sqlite3/dbapi2.py", line 27, in <module>
    from _sqlite3 import *
ImportError: No module named _sqlite3

on ubuntu and so on works fine.... any ideas of what i'm missing here?

If you are under RHEL/centos 6, you can try this:

cp /usr/lib64/python2.6/lib-dynload/_sqlite3.so /usr/local/lib/python2.7/sqlite3/
