A one-liner to output details of the current Python’s SQLite#

In investigating llm/issues/164 I found myself needing to know more precise details of the Python SQLite environment used by the reporter of the bug.

I came up with this one-liner for pasting into a terminal:

1
python -c '
2
import sqlite3
3
import sys
4
conn = sqlite3.connect(":memory:")
5
print("Python version:", sys.version)
6
print("SQLite version:", conn.execute("select sqlite_version()").fetchone()[0])
7
print("SQLite compile options\n  " + "\n  ".join(r[0] for r in conn.execute("pragma compile_options").fetchall()))
8
for pragma in (
9
        "foreign_keys", "defer_foreign_keys", "ignore_check_constraints", "legacy_alter_table",
10
        "recursive_triggers", "writable_schema",
11
    ):
12
    output = conn.execute("pragma %s" % pragma).fetchone()
13
    print("Pragma {}: {}".format(pragma, output[0]))
14
'

The output on my machine looks like this:

1
Python version: 3.10.10 (main, Mar 21 2023, 13:41:05) [Clang 14.0.6 ]

The script works by querying pragma compile_options for the compilation options, then looping through and checking some boolean pragmas as well.
