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?

Inizia leggendo l’entry point sqlite3.connect() e il comportamento di pathlib.Path descritto nella proposta, quindi esamina i requisiti URI di SQLite. Il lavoro è completato quando è stato concordato e implementato un helper che costruisca l’URI file: appropriata a partire da un Path, incluse le lettere delle unità Windows e i separatori POSIX, con test per i casi indicati.
