While attempting to build a Python 3.6 RPM for RHEL/CentOS 6, I noticed the following warning.

*** WARNING: renaming "_sqlite3" since importing it failed: build/lib.linux-i686-3.6-pydebug/_sqlite3.cpython-36dm-i386-linux-gnu.so: undefined symbol: sqlite3_stmt_readonly

I was able to locate changeset 284676cf2ac8 (#10740) which introduced the usage of the sqlite3_stmt_readonly interface.  That interface wasn't added to sqlite until 3.7.4 (http://www.sqlite.org/releaselog/3_7_4.html).  My RPM build failed because RHEL/CentOS 6 only has sqlite 3.6.20.  I understand that Python can't support old libraries forever, but can this minimum sqlite version be noted somewhere in the documentation?

Thanks for the report, Carl! The patch for issue 28518 has been lifted the requirement for sqlite3_stmt_readonly() so you can now use and compile Python 3.6.1 without a warning at compile time.
