Description

erlend-aasland
opened on May 31, 2022

The sqlite3.version and sqlite3.version_info attributes have historically created some confusion, as they are sometimes mistaken for the SQLite 3 version number. They used to reflect the pysqlite1 version number, until the external pysqlite package stopped upstreaming changes to the stdlib sqlite3 module2, but today they carry no meaning or practical value3.

In order to avoid future frustration, I suggest to deprecate sqlite3.version and sqlite3.version_info in 3.12, and remove them in 3.14.

Footnotes

  1. The sqlite3 stdlib module was forked off of the external pysqlite module around 2005. ↩

  2. Somewhere around 2015, IIRC. ↩

  3. sqlite3.version is set to the value '2.6.0', and sqlite3.version_info is set to the value (2, 6, 0). ↩

    But it would be nice to expose the Sqlite 3 version number. What do you think?

    Sorry for the late reply. Looks like there is already a PR up, however there are probably more deprecations coming up in the 3.12 dev phase :)

    Reopening as pythoninfo.py was not updated to catch the deprecation warning. Excerpt from https://github.com/python/cpython/runs/7056328858?check_suite_focus=true:
