They used to reflect the _pysqlite_[^1] version number, until the external pysqlite package stopped upstreaming changes to the stdlib sqlite3 module[^2], but today they carry no meaning or practical value[^3].\r\n\r\nIn order to avoid future frustration, I suggest to deprecate `sqlite3.version` and `sqlite3.version_info` in 3.12, and remove them in 3.14.\r\n\r\nSee also [discussion on Discourse](https://discuss.python.org/t/want-to-update-sqlite-that-came-with-python/13056/6?u=erlendaasland)\r\n\r\n[^1]: The sqlite3 stdlib module was forked off of the external pysqlite module around 2005.\r\n[^2]: Somewhere around 2015, IIRC.\r\n[^3]: `sqlite3.version` is set to the value `'2.6.0'`, and `sqlite3.version_info` is set to the value `(2, 6, 0)`.","author":{"url":"https://github.com/erlend-aasland","@type":"Person","name":"erlend-aasland"},"datePublished":"2022-05-31T07:34:56.000Z","interactionStatistic":{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":"https://schema.org/CommentAction","userInteractionCount":9},"url":"https://github.com/93370/cpython/issues/93370"}
