Sorry for the late reply. Looks like there is already a PR up, however there are probably more deprecations coming up in the 3.12 dev phase :)

The
sqlite3.versionandsqlite3.version_infoattributes have historically created some confusion, as they are sometimes mistaken for the SQLite 3 version number. They used to reflect the pysqlite1 version number, until the external pysqlite package stopped upstreaming changes to the stdlib sqlite3 module2, but today they carry no meaning or practical value3.In order to avoid future frustration, I suggest to deprecate
sqlite3.versionandsqlite3.version_infoin 3.12, and remove them in 3.14.See also discussion on Discourse
