Use standard sqlite3 module if available

[Alfred Morgan]

If Axiom finds sqlite3 module then import that or else fallback importing pysqlite2.

I'm willing to work on this if it makes sense to do so.

Hmm? Axiom does this:

try:
    # Prefer the third-party module, as it is easier to update, and so may
    # be newer or otherwise better.
    from pysqlite2 import dbapi2
except ImportError:
    # But fall back to the stdlib module if we're on Python 2.6 or newer,
    # because it should work too. Don't do this for Python 2.5 because
    # there are critical, data-destroying bugs in that version.
    if sys.version_info >= (2, 6):
        import sqlite3 as dbapi2
    else:
        raise

Older versions of the stdlib sqlite3 module contain various bugs which make them unsuitable for use.

I see, sorry about that I had looked in the folder of Axiom 0.6.0 where I downloaded from PyPI.

No problem. It seems like probably a new release is due, considering this any a number of other bugs have been fixed but never released. :)
