I compiled Python 3.7.4 from source and installed following these instructions without any problems:
https://tecadmin.net/install-python-3-7-on-centos/
I upgraded from Sqlite 3.7.17 to Sqlite 3.29.0 following these instructions without any problems (other than I had to install some additional ".so" libraries):
https://linuxhint.com/upgrade-to-latest-sqlite3-on-centos7/
Unfortunately Python 3.7.4 is still using the old version of Sqlite3 (3.7.17):

I'm using Django and need it to run at least v3.8.3 (see the very end of the following output):

I've looked at the following posts to try to figure this out but I think I don't know enough about compiling code to figure out the proper solution. Nothing I have tried from these links works.
django can't find new sqlite version? (SQLite 3.8.3 or later is required (found 3.7.17))
https://superuser.com/questions/1447285/python-wont-compile-with-a-new-sqlite3-on-centos-7
It could be that the instructions I'm following don't work because my software installation locations/paths are different from the users in the above posts, I'm not sure... that's why I noted "Software locations:" above. Or maybe I need to uninstall Python 3.7 somehow rather than 'reinstall over the top' of an existing installation? I installed from source, not sure if I need to do this and if so, how to go about it properly.
Any help resolving this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

This section added after getting instructions from FlipperPA
Followed instructions exactly to "Upgrade the CentOS 7 system install of SQLite to 3.29 by compiling it from source". Below is the result.
[root@TACIT src]# sqlite3 --version
3.29.0 2019-07-10 17:32:03 fc82b73eaac8b36950e527f12c4b5dc1e147e6f4ad2217ae43ad82882a88bfa6
I had already deleted my original source compile directory (/usr/src/Python-3.7.4) several times yesterday as I tried all of the other articles from the original post. So starting from scratch, I did this:
cd /usr/src
tar -zxvf Python-3.7.4.tgz
cd Python-3.7.4
./configure --enable-optimizations
make altinstall
make clean
make install
[root@TACIT Python-3.7.4]# python3.7

>>> import sqlite3
>>> sqlite3.sqlite_version
'3.7.17'
Python is still using the wrong version of SQLite. I did the 'make altinstall' command because CentOS 7.6 comes with Python 2.7.5 by default and I read that I shouldn't mess with that. So 'make altinstall' installs Python 3.7.4 in another location so as to leave the default installation of python fully intact.
=========================================================================
Manually uninstalling Python 3.7.4 (installed from source)
So I did the following:
find / -name *3.7*
The resultant list of files is below. The first group of files/folders I left alone. The second group of files/folders I removed.
