```
docker run -it ubuntu:latest /bin/bash
```
Then in the container:
```
apt-get update
apt-get install python3
python3
# pasted in the above recipe
apt install software-properties-common
add-apt-repository ppa:deadsnakes/ppa
apt install python3.11
python3.11
# pasted it in again
```
In both cases the Python code did not raise an exception, which suggests that on Ubuntu those two Python versions do not have the defensive mode set.","{""total_count"": 0, ""+1"": 0, ""-1"": 0, ""laugh"": 0, ""hooray"": 0, ""confused"": 0, ""heart"": 0, ""rocket"": 0, ""eyes"": 0}",810618495,

It succeeds on my Python 3.11 and raises the following exception on my broken Python 3.9:

Removing the `PRAGMA writable_schema = 1;` causes the same exception to be raised on both Pythons.","{""total_count"": 0, ""+1"": 0, ""-1"": 0, ""laugh"": 0, ""hooray"": 0, ""confused"": 0, ""heart"": 0, ""rocket"": 0, ""eyes"": 0}",810618495,

My hunch is that it isn't.
In which case `sqlite-utils` should at least know how to catch this error and display a much more readable error message, maybe with a link to further documentation.
A utility function that can detect this mode would be really useful too. I'd probably have to do a test that tries to modify `sqlite_master` on a new in-memory database to catch if it's possible or not.","{""total_count"": 0, ""+1"": 0, ""-1"": 0, ""laugh"": 0, ""hooray"": 0, ""confused"": 0, ""heart"": 0, ""rocket"": 0, ""eyes"": 0}",810618495,

The `sqlite-utils` test suite passes without errors on my Python 3.11.2 installation... but it fails with this error on a Python 3.9.6 installation.
In the broken version's virtual environment directory I ran this:
```
cat pyvenv.cfg
home = /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/usr/bin
implementation = CPython
version_info = 3.9.6.final.0
virtualenv = 20.17.1
include-system-site-packages = false
base-prefix = /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Library/Frameworks/Python3.framework/Versions/3.9
base-exec-prefix = /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Library/Frameworks/Python3.framework/Versions/3.9
base-executable = /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/usr/bin/python3
```
So it looks like the Xcode `python3` has ""defensive"" mode turned on for SQLite.
As far as I can tell there's no way to turn it OFF again in Python.
My virtual environment that DOES work has this:
```
home = /opt/homebrew/opt/python@3.11/bin
implementation = CPython
version_info = 3.11.2.final.0
virtualenv = 20.17.1
include-system-site-packages = false
base-prefix = /opt/homebrew/opt/python@3.11/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.11
base-exec-prefix = /opt/homebrew/opt/python@3.11/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.11
base-executable = /opt/homebrew/opt/python@3.11/bin/python3.11
```
So the Python 3.11 I installed through Homebrew doesn't exhibit this bug.","{""total_count"": 0, ""+1"": 0, ""-1"": 0, ""laugh"": 0, ""hooray"": 0, ""confused"": 0, ""heart"": 0, ""rocket"": 0, ""eyes"": 0}",810618495,
