sqlite/sqlite3 is an application built on top of the sqlite database engine,
while Python's pysqlite/sqlite3 library is a binding to the same database
engine.

the database never prints anything to anywhere, and neither does Python's
binding.  if you want to print things, you have to print them yourself.
