Python package for the sqlean SQLite extensions

This python package includes a loadable extension module for sqlite provided by sqlean. This allows other python packages to use this extension without requiring dependencies outside of the python ecosystem. For more details about the specific extensions, see https://github.com/nalgeon/sqlean/tree/main/docs.

I'm currently experimenting with two different approaches to packaging sqlean:

• Using the binaries from the original sqlean release
• Building the binaries as part of the package build process.

Please see https://github.com/karlb/sqlite-sqlean/issues/1 for details.

Example usage for the crypto extension.

conn = sqlite3.connect(":memory:")
conn.enable_load_extension(True)
conn.load_extension(sqlite_spellfix.extension_path())
sqlite_sqlean.load(conn, 'crypto')
