In the Python core version, features can only be added for major Python 
releases, i. e. it's bugfix-only until Python 2.6.

The external version can always add new features, does not depend on 
Python release schedules, and is available for older Python releases as 
well (it works with Python 2.3 or higher).

They have different module names. The version in Python core is 
available as the module "sqlite3", while the externally maintained 
version is available as "pysqlite2.dbapi2".
