Well, I might have somewhat solved this problem. Since SQLite allows you 
to use execute* methods directly on the connection object (thus no need 
to create a cursor object), all I need to do is call connection.close() 
and this doesn't seem to raise an error even if the connection has 
already been closed.

I'm still curious if there's a way to check for an open connection, but 
it seems like without the cursor object, the task is much easier.
