pysqlite added to the batteries included list?

Anyway we can add this to the batteries included list for Python 2.7? I wasn't able to install it. I'm getting the following error:

sqlite3 is built into all the Python versions we have. You can see the docs here. Is there something that pysqlite does that the built-in doesn't do?

According to this page, it looks like they're the same.
