Seems a stupid question. If he wants to use SQLite... it needs to be  
on the system....

But Python itself is dependent upon SQlite3 being installed first...

try it yourself...

first compile python 2.5 from source without SQLite.. see if it  
works... it won't.

Install Sqlite first... then compile python 2.5 from source.. python  
sqlite support will work...

The dependency is within the make files of python 2.5. It checks  
whether sqlite is installed on the machine and includes support if it  
is there.. if not.. doesn't support it...

It is very logical....
