Description

This is going to be a huge task, but the goal is to be able to build CPython using Limbo's SQLite compatibility library.

You can build Python with Limbo as follows:

git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/python/cpython.git
cd python
export LIBSQLITE3_LIBS=<LIMBO SOURCES>/target/debug/liblimbo_sqlite3.a
./configure
make -j8

I already added bunch of stubs to make it link, but there's tons of stuff to implement:

Contributor guide
