As far as I know, BioSQL does not currently include a schema for SQLite.

Biopython can talk to a BioSQL database run on MySQL (using MySQLdb),
PostgreSQL (using either Psycopg or Psycopg2).  In theory it could be
extended to use any supported BioSQL database (provided there are
python bindings for the database software, in the case of SQLite using
pysqlite would probably fine).
