David - thanks for the pointer to when TRIM showed up. Python is 10 years out of date!! Wow!!
Upgrade was not super difficult, I kind of figured it out with a lot of searching for answers. Searching about upgrades, I found this listing: https://www.reddit.com/r/Python/comments/3docsa/how_do_i_upgrade_the_sqlite_lib_in_python34/ It pointed me in a direction which worked on Ubuntu 17.10 and Fedora Server 27. I actually am running RHEL 5, but wanted to test the upgrade before getting back to the office. I figured Fedora Server was 'close' to RHEL. I'm using a python installed without root (setting the ./configure --prefix=<pwd>). So when I saw the download options for SQLite3, I picked the one with configure and tried the same --prefix option. After make install, I had the so libraries. I got the new libraries to be used by setting the LD_LIBRARY_PATH to a value of the sqlite3-3210000/lib. All the python modules showed sqlite3.sqlite_version of 3.20.1 when I don't have the LD_LIBRARY_PATH set, and 3.21.00 when I do. Thanks again, Merry Christmas!!
