On Ubuntu, "sqlite" starts sqlite2.x; if you want sqlite3.x, you must type "sqlite3". The last version of sqlite2 came out in 2005. As far as I know, hardly anyone still uses sqlite2 for anything anymore. (I could be very wrong though.) Nevertheless, people must still type that extra character "3". The sky has not yet fallen :)

It seems to me that the same approach could work for Python.
