[New-bugs-announce] [issue8196] sqlit3.paramstyle reported as 'qmark'

[Santiago Gala]

New submission from Santiago Gala <sgala at apache.org>:

>>> import sqlite3
>>> sqlite3.paramstyle
'qmark'

The documentation claims that sqlite3 accepts 'named' paramstyle, and :PEP:`249` says in footnote 2:

        Module implementors should prefer 'numeric', 'named' or
        'pyformat' over the other formats because these offer more
        clarity and flexibility.

I think the module should report 'named', as it is preferred, and leave to the documentation the fact that 'qmark' is also supported.
