While attempting to build a Python 3.6 RPM for RHEL/CentOS 6, I noticed the following warning.
*** WARNING: renaming "_sqlite3" since importing it failed: build/lib.linux-i686-3.6-pydebug/_sqlite3.cpython-36dm-i386-linux-gnu.so: undefined symbol: sqlite3_stmt_readonly
I was able to locate changeset 284676cf2ac8 (bpo-10740) which introduced the usage of the sqlite3_stmt_readonly interface. That interface wasn't added to sqlite until 3.7.4 (http://www.sqlite.org/releaselog/3_7_4.html). My RPM build failed because RHEL/CentOS 6 only has sqlite 3.6.20. I understand that Python can't support old libraries forever, but can this minimum sqlite version be noted somewhere in the documentation?

Thanks for the report, Carl! The patch for bpo-28518 has been lifted the requirement for sqlite3_stmt_readonly() so you can now use and compile Python 3.6.1 without a warning at compile time.
