Does this work?

cnx = connect('db')
c = cnx.cursor()
c.execute('-- types int')
c.execute('select max(id) from table')

"SQLite is typeless. It stores all data as text. However, all data
returned from PySQLite are cast into their respective Python types as
declared in the database schema, provided that said types are standard
ANSI SQL type (e.g. VARCHAR, INT, FLOAT, etc.)."

Based on this, my guess is that PySQLite is having trouble figuring
out what the type of a max() result ought to be, since max is not in
your schema (of course).
