I agree with Ronald that the proposed patch should not be applied as is.  For example, the Pythons installed by the current python.org OS X installers build and link with a newer version of libsqlite3.  This is one of several examples of third-party libraries for which the Apple-supplied version in OS X is old and users are better served by providing a newer version for use with Python.  I think a better approach would be to make it easier for people building from source on OS X to also build and include these newer versions, like the installer build does.
