-----------------------------+--------------------
Pyspatialite is a modified version of pysqlite that builds sqlite with
spatiliate support already in it. This module is easier to install
compared to pysqlite especially when utilizing a package installer such as
PIP; making GeoDjango support this package is relatively trivial.
Further Explanation:
It appears that the emergent way to run django sites is now
Virtualenv+PIP. Adding support for pyspatiallite allows one to setup
GeoDjango sqlite3 support utilizing PIP and hence allows for the creation
of requiremnts.txt which in turn makes the project that much more
portable. One can not use PIP to install pysqlite as by default it does
not enable loading of sqlite extensions.
