Tensorboard: ImportError _sqlite3 running virtualenv tensorboard

[roballsopp]

I followed the instructions here to install tensorflow. Tensorflow seems to work fine, at least it seems I can train my model with no problems. However, when I attempt to run tensorboard to view the summaries I saved, I get the following error:
ImportError: No module named _sqlite3. The full trace is:

Traceback (most recent call last):

I'm kinda new to python and not familiar with virtualenv. There is very little on this error when I've searched, but it seems like most folks run into this if they improperly build python from source, but I'm not doing that am I?

i think my global python install was bad. I solved this by deleting my virtualenv, uninstalling my global python installation, reinstall global python with brew, and recreating my virtualenv. Sorry for the frivolous issue. Hopefully this saves somebody an hour or two.
