Comment (by atagar):

 Again, the trouble is that pip does not account for builtins. It only
 knows about pip managed packages. Here on Ubuntu (and most platforms)
 sqlite3 is built in, yet if I run 'pip install pysqlite' it still attempts
 to install it and I'm unsure if that's safe.

 If you'd like we could try a conditional dependency...

 {{{
 'dependencies = ['stem'] if SQLITE_AVAILABLE else ['stem', 'pysqlite']
 }}}

 But quick look around seems to indicate there be dragons...
