Well, the just-released Ubuntu 06.06 LTS (Long Term Support) ships with sqlite 3.2.8. I'd suggest that whatever version ships with Python should at least work with this version. 06.06 is supposed to be supported for a couple of years, at least. Since this is the latest and greatest version of what's probably the most rapidly updating Linux (I don't include gentoo, obviously, because gentoo scares me (ObBarryBaiting: funroll-loops.org)), I don't think we can expect many people's platforms to have the absolute latest 3.4.4 or whatever.

Alternately, we ship the sqlite3 code with Python. I'm deeply unthrilled with this idea, as it means more emergency security releases to fix sqlite3 security bugs, as well as bloating out the size of the release.

In the meantime, I'd suggest the appropriate fix is to roll back to the previous version of the python-sqlite bindings on the trunk.
