Python sqlite3 version

Question

Python 2.6.2 (r262:71605, Apr 14 2009, 22:40:02) [MSC v.1500 32 bit (Intel)] on
win32
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import sqlite3
>>> sqlite3.version
'2.4.1'

Questions:

Why is the version of the sqlite3 module '2.4.1'
Whats the reason behind bundling such an old sqlite with Python? The sqlite releaselog says 2002 Mar 13 (2.4.1).

Odd verisoning on the part of SQlite.

The pysqlite database adapter is a totally separate project from the underlying sqlite3 database project so the version numbers are not related. See stackoverflow.com/questions/1545479/… for an extended discussion.

One liner to print to CLI: python -c "import sqlite3; print(sqlite3.version); print(sqlite3.sqlite_version)"
