backwards compatibility. Add Py_Refcnt, Py_Type, Py_Size, and
PyVarObject_HEAD_INIT.

merged into the 2.5 maintenance branch:

- self->statement was not checked while fetching data, which could
  lead to crashes if you used the pysqlite API in unusual ways.
  Closing the cursor and continuing to fetch data was enough.

- Converters are stored in a converters dictionary. The converter name
  is uppercased first. The old upper-casing algorithm was wrong and
  was replaced by a simple call to the Python string's upper() method
  instead.

-Applied patch by Glyph Lefkowitz that fixes the problem with
 subsequent SQLITE_SCHEMA errors.

- Improvement to the row type: rows can now be iterated over and have a keys()
  method. This improves compatibility with both tuple and dict a lot.

- A bugfix for the subsecond resolution in timestamps.

- Corrected the way the flags PARSE_DECLTYPES and PARSE_COLNAMES are
  checked for. Now they work as documented.

- gcc on Linux sucks. It exports all symbols by default in shared
  libraries, so if symbols are not unique it can lead to problems with
  symbol lookup.  pysqlite used to crash under Apache when mod_cache
  was enabled because both modules had the symbol cache_init. I fixed
  this by applying the prefix pysqlite_ almost everywhere. Sigh.

character before sending it to a custom converter. This has been fixed now.

reference API in pysqlite 2.2.1.

Bumbed pysqlite version number to upcoming pysqlite 2.3.1 release.

This backs out the test changes in 46962 which prevented crashes
by not running the tests via a version check.  All the version checks
added in that rev were removed from the tests.

Code was added to the error handler in connection.c that seems
to work with older versions of sqlite including 3.1.3.

  SQLite versions.
- Added version checks in test suite so that we don't execute tests that we
  know will fail with older (buggy) SQLite versions.

Now, all tests should run against all SQLite versions from 3.0.8 until 3.3.6
(latest one now). The sqlite3 module can be built against all these SQLite
versions and the sqlite3 module does its best to not trigger bugs in SQLite,
but using SQLite 3.3.3 or later is recommended.

follow in a few hours at the latest. Then we should be ready for beta1.

of SQLite3 from 3.2.2 to 3.0.8, by providing an alternative to
sqlite3_transfer_bindings. setup.py also handles the common (in debian
and ubuntu, at least) case of a buggy sqlite3.h SQLITE_VERSION_NUMBER.

This is based on pysqlite2.1.3, and provides a DB-API interface in
the standard library. You'll need sqlite 3.2.2 or later to build
this - if you have an earlier version, the C extension module will
not be built.
