PySQLite2 is a third-party package.  You can install it for Windows.

"sqlite3" is only available in Python 2.5 and newer as part of the stdlib.

So this isn't a platform issue.  I'm not sure if the stdlib version of SQLite
actually works with Axiom (because I haven't tested it) so it might be better
to install the third-party package.
