— I've been trying to figure this out for years. Previous notes include [Using LD_PRELOAD to run any version of SQLite with Python](https://til.simonwillison.net/sqlite/ld-preload) (Linux only), and [Building a specific version of SQLite with pysqlite on macOS/Linux](https://til.simonwillison.net/sqlite/build-specific-sqlite-pysqlite-macos) and [Using pysqlite3 on macOS](https://til.simonwillison.net/sqlite/pysqlite3-on-macos) (both using the `pysqlite3` package).
