Correct. > -- although the same argument actually holds for the .pyd file Not quite. You can download Windows binaries for newer sqlite versions from sqlite.org, so you don't need a compiler to update sqlite (which you likely would if _sqlite3.pyd would need to be replaced). So you can "bypass" Python and its release process for updates to sqlite. >> libs/_sqlite3.lib 2K > > I think this is a summary of the entry points into one of the above > DLLs for the benefit of other code wanting to link against it, but I'm > not sure. Correct. I don't know why I include them in the MSI - they are there because they were also shipped with the Wise installer. I see no use - nobody should be linking against an extension module. >> I do not know whether upgrades (like 3.0.0 to 3.0.1) would clobber other >> things added here. > > It would, but not in a harmful way. If the user had upgrade sqlite, upgrading Python would undo that, though. So one would have to re-upgrade sqlite afterwards.
