It maintains full API compatibility with Python's standard sqlite3 module, so you can use it as a direct replacement without rewriting connection or query code. The extensions\u2014covering cryptography, fuzzy matching, statistics, regex, file I/O, IP address handling, and more\u2014are disabled by default but can be enabled globally or selectively before opening a connection.\n\nThe package is distributed as precompiled wheels for Linux and macOS, making installation straightforward on those platforms. However, the repository is archived and no longer maintained, which means bug fixes and compatibility updates with future Python or SQLite versions are unlikely. The codebase is based on pysqlite3 and is available under a permissive zlib license.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you are on Linux or macOS and need sqlean extensions in a Python SQLite environment. The permissive license and zero runtime dependencies make it low-risk. However, the abandoned repository status means you should not rely on it for long-term production systems expecting active maintenance or future Python compatibility patches. Windows users will need to build from source."},"id":"sqlean-py","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/sqlean-py","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/sqlean-py.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/sqlean-py/"},"maintenance":{"status":"abandoned"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2025-10-25","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"sqlean.py","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"sqlite3 with extensions"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":1186871,"position":4249,"tier":"top_5000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"3.50.4.5"}
