http://www.sqlite.org/cvstrac/chngview?cn=2981 that callbacks can throw errors that are usefully returned to the original caller. The tests for the sqlite3 module currently assume a recent version SQLite (3.3.something). Otherwise some tests will fail. Sounds like that explains why none of the Windows buildbots failed (on Windows, Python currently uses the sqlite checked in at http://svn.python.org/projects/external/sqlite-source-3.3.4 ). I suppose some OSes think they're doing you a favor by forcing you to be the system SQLite admin ;-)

Yes, this issue made development of the SQLite module a bit more "interesting" for me. And I deserved no better for committing changes so late before beta1.

Anyway, I verified my theory about the SQLite bugs (that's what they are), and added version checks to the C code and to the test suite, so now Everything Should Work (crossing fingers).

If anything should still fail, I'll ruthlessly blame Anthony, he brought the idea up of supporting older SQLite versions in the first place :-P
