title: Can I use a later of version of sqlite3 with python?
body: <p>I am using python 3.5.1 which comes with an sqlite version of 3.8.11. I wonder if I could use another version of sqlite (say the <a href="http://www.sqlite.org/releaselog/3_10_2.html" rel="nofollow noreferrer">latest one</a> as of now) with my current python. If the answer is yes then how do I do that? Learning from <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/a/10440459/3375713">here</a> I tried this but it does not do anything:</p>
  
  <pre><code>pip install sqlite3 --upgrade
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I am using sqlite3 in my django project that needs full-text search. So I was reading <a href="http://www.sqlite.org/fts3.html" rel="nofollow noreferrer">this</a>, and at a point I was <em>tempted</em> to use the <a href="http://www.sqlite.org/releaselog/3_10_2.html" rel="nofollow noreferrer">latest version</a> of sqlite3 as it said it had some improvements over the previous versions, which seemed interesting to me. Anyway, is it possible to use later version of sqlite3 without upgrading python?</p>
