There is also a sqlite module for previous version of Python. So I
guess you could check python version at the beginning of your code and
then set the import properly. The code will just run with python
>=2.5. For older version, it will require the standalone sqlite
executable and pysqlite2 (available from http://pysqlite.org/).
This is what is happening now with reportlab and other external
programs that are needed for some biopython modules. This will ad
optional software requirement to Biopython, only when running with
Python<=2.5 and when the user want to run your module.
