Bundle SpatiaLite #98

Open simonw opened 3 years ago

Is it feasible to bundle a predompiled (and signed if necessary) SpatiaLite with Datasette Desktop? Provide a menu option for loading it as an extension?

If #96 shows promise could even try compiling and bundling the SpatiaLite extension in a Python wheel and signing that, then making it available as an optional extra install.

If I do this I don't want to load SpatiaLite by default because it adds a LOT of extra functionality to SQLite that the user may not need. Instead, I'll have a checkbox for enabling it tucked away in the Plugins menu.
