I think he means the cnf is using the "root" OS python in /usr/bin, but
/usr/bin/python3 is trying to import his local build of sqlite3, which
cause it to fail. I assume he would like cnf to not try to import his
local sqlite3, and instead use the normal system one. If this is the
case, then somehow his local, non-root sqlite3 library is being picked
up by the system version of python.

Right. That's exactly what would happen if he'd built Python using
absolute paths to libraries, which is the normal way to do it. And so
the solution is to rebuild Python using absolute paths to libraries.
