Execute sqlite3 “dot” commands from Python or register collation in command line utility

Question

You can load new collating sequences and functions using load_extension() built-in SQLite function or .load command in command line shell for SQLite. Obviously, extensions shold be written in C.

And you can not call dot-commands from python, because dot-commands are specific to the command line shell tool.
