== SQLite

The SQLite version that ships with the Windows and OS X installers are:

* Python 3.5 - 3.8.11
* Python 3.6 - 3.14.2
* Python 3.7 - 3.21.0
* Python 3.8 - 3.28.0
* Python 3.9 - 3.34.0

Generally, the minimum supported SQlite version is the one that's shipped with the oldest supported Python version. For example, Django 2.1 supports Python 3.5 and later, so the minimum supported SQLite version is 3.8.11.

Search the [https://docs.python.org/3/whatsnew/changelog.html Python Changelog] for "SQLite" to find entries like "Update Windows build and OS X installers to use SQLite 3.14.2."
