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.

I have no problems continuing to support any halfway sane version, and that is 3.0.8 or later (AFAIR the first non-beta SQLite 3.x release anyway). It just requires a bit more testing.

[...] 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.

No, that's not an option.

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.

Why? The previous version is really no better, except it ignores errors in callbacks for all SQLite versions, instead of doing something useful and aborting the query with a useful error message for those SQLite versions that support it.
