Being forced to install all of tcl just for one optional component of sqlite is simply insane. Make it optional so that if you really really want to run all the tests and/or run sqlite3_analyze, you can, but if you just need sqlite, you can have it by itself. sqlite is meant to be small and standalone, not bring in entire other ecosystems.
You shouldn't be forced to reinstall Python just because you installed sqlite. Make that optional.

When sqlite is upgraded it changes soname versions breaking python requiring a lunar fix. |

sqlite seems to have picked up some bloat along the way.
First of all, tcl is an OPTIONAL dependency, and should have never been made mandatory.
Second, rebuilding Python with sqlite support is also OPTIONAL and that should also be a choice.
