Python AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'connect'

You need to change your script name. sqlite3 is the name of your script and of the package you want to import, so Python import your script instead of the package, hence the error.

The error message shows you've named a file sqlite3.py:

/home/michael/ownCloud/sqlite3.py"

which masks the standard module of the same name. Your sqlite3.py does not define connect, hence the error. The solution is to rename your file to something else.

As Jim Raynor points out, importing sqlite3 will also create a .pyc file in /home/michael/ownCloud/ which would also have to be deleted before the sqlite3 module in the standard lib can be found.
