Perhaps, but the example I gave in my other post:

>>> with open("data.db", "wb") as f:
...     f.write(os.urandom(1024)) # put random bytes into data.db

>>> db = sqlite3.connect("data.db")
>>> db.execute("create table foo (bar, baz);")
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
sqlite3.DatabaseError: file is encrypted or is not a database

matches the "database file corrupt" part of the error message provided by 
the OP.
