It let you select things.  There is also a pysqlite1.  There are two
different versions of dbapi with a 3rd on the way.

The standard pysqlite shipped with Python is just plain sqlite3.

Yes, just like that.  However sometimes people want a newer version than
whatever is shipped with Python.  Using the top "from ... as sqlite3"
means the module ends up being imported as the name "sqlite3" whether
you are using the external or internal (to Python) module.

The docs from Python.org are just plain "import sqlite3":

  http://docs.python.org/library/sqlite3.html
