Hmm - your code doesn't quite match up with the docs at
http://docs.python.org/2/library/sqlite3.html. That seems to suggest
that you should call fetchone() on the cursor, not on the result of
execute().

Does the following work?

    # open database file
    self.geologger_db = sqlite3.connect('geologger.mgc')
    self.db_cursor = self.geologger_db.cursor()
    self.db_cursor.execute("PRAGMA foreign_keys = ON")
    print self.db_cursor.fetchone()
