Does Python 2.5 include or not include SQLite engine?

AFAIK thats wrong. On my ubuntu gutsy for example, I find this:

deets at absinth:~$ find /usr/lib/python2.5/ | grep -i sqlite
/usr/lib/python2.5/lib-dynload/_sqlite3.so
/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/pysqlite-2.3.2.egg-info
/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/pysqlite2
/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/pysqlite2/__init__.py
/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/pysqlite2/__init__.pyc
/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/pysqlite2/_sqlite.so
/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/pysqlite2/dbapi2.py
/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/pysqlite2/dbapi2.pyc
/usr/lib/python2.5/sqlite3
/usr/lib/python2.5/sqlite3/__init__.py

...


As you can see, stock 2.5 ships with its OWN version of sqlite, and I 
additionally installed the pysqlite-wrapper for whatever reason I now 
can't remember.
