Thanks, Chris Amico. ([#330](https://github.com/simonw/sqlite-utils/pull/385))

-   `sqlite_utils.utils.find_spatialite()` [finds the location of the SpatiaLite module](https://sqlite-utils.readthedocs.io/en/stable/python-api.html#python-api-gis-find-spatialite) on disk.
-   `db.init_spatialite()` [initializes SpatiaLite](https://sqlite-utils.readthedocs.io/en/stable/python-api.html#python-api-gis-init-spatialite) for the given database.
-   `table.add_geometry_column(...)` [adds a geometry column](https://sqlite-utils.readthedocs.io/en/stable/python-api.html#python-api-gis-add-geometry-column) to an existing table.
-   `table.create_spatial_index(...)` [creates a spatial index](https://sqlite-utils.readthedocs.io/en/stable/python-api.html#python-api-gis-create-spatial-index) for a column.
-   `sqlite-utils batch` now accepts a `--batch-size` option. ([#392](https://github.com/simonw/sqlite-utils/issues/392))",2022-02-04T06:44:19Z,"[""cli"", ""click"", ""datasette"", ""datasette-io"", ""datasette-tool"", ""python"", ""sqlite"", ""sqlite-database""]"
