Details

Python's sqlite3 module has the ability to load C extensions (e.g. libspatialite) for sqlite but it needs to be enabled during compile time using the –enable-loadable-sqlite-extensions switch to the configure script.

The Python docs state that, "the sqlite3 module is not built with loadable extension support by default, because some platforms (notably Mac OS X) have SQLite libraries which are compiled without this feature." [0]

As Arch Linux ships with a sqlite that has extension loading built-in, also enabling this in Python 2 and 3 would be nice and AFAIK would not have any sideeffects.

Cheers!

It seems this was enabled previously: https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/22122

Oh, that's actually true. Arch's Python2 has this enabled since 2.7.1-3.

So, this only concerns Python3 where it is not enabled.
