Helper function for constructing URIs for `sqlite3.connect()`

Feature or enhancement

Proposal:

When working with SQLite3 URIs, one very subtle thing about them is if you are on Windows and the database path starts with a drive letter, you need to make sure there's a leading /. You must also use POSIX file path separators.

A non-optimized solution is:

db_path = path.resolve(strict=True).as_posix()
if not db_path.startswith("/"):
    # Starts with a Windows drive letter, so add leading slash.
    db_path = "/" + db_path

This seems subtle enough to potentially warrant a function to take a pathlib.Path object and construct the resulting file: URI appropriately. I'm sure something nicer that doesn't force the absolute path could be used to save on any extra stat calls (if people are even that concerned for a single call that opens a database).

Has this already been discussed elsewhere?

Empieza leyendo el punto de entrada sqlite3.connect() y el comportamiento de pathlib.Path descrito en la propuesta; después, revisa los requisitos de URI de SQLite. Se considera terminado cuando se haya acordado e implementado un helper que construya la URI file: adecuada a partir de un Path, incluidos los identificadores de unidad de Windows y los separadores POSIX, con pruebas para los casos indicados.
