Your comment introduced me to this issue in sqlite and to the ctypes module - thanks!

I also hope that the datasette developers will enable this mode in a test environment [...] perhaps we could figure out how to invoke it using ctypes

I'm not a Datasette developer, but I am curious to learn more about getting unholy access to the sqlite C APIs inside of Datasette. (Such access could also help #1293, and if done without grovelling inside of pysqlite's Connection object for the db handle, could even be relatively safe.)

I experimented a bit. I came up with https://gist.github.com/cldellow/85bba507c314b127f85563869cd94820

If you run python3 enable-strict-quoting-sqlite3.py, it seems to set those flags correctly -- SELECT "foo" fails where it would normally succeed.

But if you put it in a plugins/ dir and run datasette --plugins-dir plugins/, it segfaults when it tries to call sqlite3_db_config on the connections created by Datasette.

I am... confused. I'm pretty sure I'm using the same python and the same libsqlite3 in both scenarios, so I would expect it to work.

@gwk do you know anything that might help me debug the segfault? I gather that my approach of going grovelling inside of a PyObject is particularly dangerous, but I was thinking (a) it's necessary in order to test Datasette's use of the sqlite3 library and (b) even if it's not portable, it'd be good enough for running the tests on a single machine.
