SQLCipher is industry-standard technology for managing an encrypting SQLite databases. It has been implemented as a fork of SQLite3. So the sqlite3 corelib module would build as-is against it. But rather than a fork (of this module), I'd rather see integration of SQLCiper in upstream Python. I'm happy to volunteer if this changes have any chance of landing.

By just adding 2 lines to the cpython repository (and changing ~10 lines), I could make SQLCipher (based on the current sqlite3 module) available as a separate module (e.g. sqlcipher or sqlite3.cipher). However, IMO the ideal interface would be sqlilte3.connect(..., sqlcipher=True).

Any thoughts?
