[AWS CLI v2] Crash in awscli/telemetry.py on macos arm64 #9990
Description
Describe the bug
Executing aws can cause a crash in telemetry.py on macos arm64 (see the stacktrace below).
This seems to be related to sqlite. I tried to use the default parameters of the sqlite3.connect method and observed no crashes anymore.
Regression Issue
- Select this option if this issue appears to be a regression.
Expected Behavior
aws command doesn't crash on startup.
Current Behavior
aws crashes on start and with PYTHONFAULTHANDLER=1 produces a stacktrace like this:
❯ echo $(DYLD_PRINT_LIBRARIES=1 aws --debug --version) at 16:59:59
Fatal Python error: Segmentation fault

Reproduction Steps
export PYTHONFAULTHANDLER=1- call
echo $(DYLD_PRINT_LIBRARIES=1 aws --debug --version)repeatedly (e.g. withwatch) - observe crash and stacktrace
Possible Solution
In the __init__ method of CLISessionDatabaseConnection, set check_same_thread to True and set isolation_level to DEFERRED. That worked for me.
