Multiple systems across both 7.2.& 7.3 as soon as I update from sqlite.ppc 3.45.3-1 to 3.49.2-1 python 2.7 starts failing with 

Could not load program python:
Symbol resolution failed for /opt/freeware/lib/libpython2.7.so because:
        Symbol _GLOBAL__AIXI_libsqlite3_so (number 219) is not exported from dependent
          module /usr/lib/libsqlite3.so.
        Symbol _GLOBAL__AIXD_libsqlite3_so (number 220) is not exported from dependent
          module /usr/lib/libsqlite3.so.
Examine .loader section symbols with the 'dump -Tv' command.

python-2.7.18-4.ppc

I understand that 2.7 is deprecated but we are still migrating old scripts off of it.
