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)"
