Description

Hello, when installing h3 on new conda environment, it causes a Segmentation Fault.

Environment: python 3.9
Conda, h3-py 3.7.4

To reproduce

conda create -n h3-test python=3.9
conda activate h3-test
conda install h3-py
python
>>> import h3

Result

(h3-test-2) ➜  ~ python
Python 3.9.16 | packaged by conda-forge | (main, Feb  1 2023, 21:38:11)
[Clang 14.0.6 ] on darwin
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import h3
[1]    29327 segmentation fault  python

Also, removing h3-py causes sqlite to be removed, crashing ipython and jupyter in general.

Could we fix this case? I do not understand what could cause the issue.

Research direction

Reproduce the failure with the reported Python 3.9, conda, macOS, and h3-py 3.7.4 commands, then isolate the package or dependency involved in the crash during import h3. Done means a fresh environment can import h3 without a segmentation fault, and removing h3-py does not unnecessarily remove sqlite.
