This is what I did to get it to work.
I am using pythonbrew(which is using pip) with python 2.7.5 installed.
I first did what Zubair(above) said and ran this command:
sudo apt-get install libsqlite3-dev
Then I ran this command:
pip install pysqlite
This fixed the database problem and I got confirmation of this when I ran:
python manager.py syncdb
