FWIW, this works for me with Python 3.12 from Homebrew, but not Python 3.12 from python.org. _sqlite3.cpython-312-darwin.so in Homebrew's Python appears to dynamically link /opt/homebrew/opt/sqlite/lib/libsqlite3.0.dylib, but the version in python.org's Python statically links the sqlite3 library.

EDIT: Python 3.9.6 from Xcode doesn't work either. It has _sqlite3.cpython-39-darwin.so which dynamically links /usr/lib/libsqlite3.dylib, but that dylib doesn't exist on my system, and I don't know enough about macOS internals to tell where it's coming from. The _sqlite3 so doesn't seem big enough to have it statically linked.

EDIT2: Xcode's Python works when launching via the real path instead of using the /usr/bin/python3 alias, I assume because /usr/bin is SIP-protected or something.

Thanks for that, I'll add a note to my TIL.
