Hi Dean, Eir, and all,

Thanks very much for your kind help and time!

After using "pkg info | grep py", I find I have installed "databases/sqlite3" not "databases/py-sqlite3"! 

I am very sorry for my stupid fault, anyway, thanks very much for all help again!

use "pkg info | grep py" and verify that the packages did install 
correctly, from one of my systems running Python with py-sqlite3, it 
works fine. I am running WeeWX on this system which even though I am 
using mySQL for most of the data, it still has some dependency on 
sqlite3, so not only does it import, but I have applications using 
py-sqlite3.

make sure that the py27_sqlite3 or py34-sqlite3 depending on which you 
are trying to use is installed. I have Python 2.7 set as system default 
do to some requirements on the software. But also have Python 3.4 
installed for some custom system maintenance scripts I have written, 
those fortunately don't require any other python dependencies so it 
seems to work OK having both installed.
