First I downloaded and started a docker container using https://hub.docker.com/r/prolocutor/python3-sqlite-ext - which includes the compiled spatialite extension. This downloads it, then starts a shell in that container.

    docker run -it -p 8018:8018 prolocutor/python3-sqlite-ext:3.5.1-spatialite /bin/sh

Installed a pre-release build of datasette which includes the new `--load-extension` option.

    pip install https://static.simonwillison.net/static/2017/datasette-0.13-py3-none-any.whl

Now grab a sample database from https://www.gaia-gis.it/spatialite-2.3.1/resources.html - and unzip and rename it (datasette doesn't yet like databases with dots in their filename):

    wget http://www.gaia-gis.it/spatialite-2.3.1/test-2.3.sqlite.gz
    gunzip test-2.3.sqlite.gz
    mv test-2.3.sqlite test23.sqlite

Now start datasette on port 8018 (the port I exposed earlier) with the extension loaded:

    datasette test23.sqlite  -p 8018 -h 0.0.0.0 --load-extension /usr/local/lib/mod_spatialite.so

Now I can confirm that it worked:

http://localhost:8018/test23-c88bc35?sql=select+ST_AsText%28Geometry%29+from+HighWays+limit+1

If I run datasette without `--load-extension` I get this:

    datasette test23.sqlite  -p 8018 -h 0.0.0.0

    docker commit $(docker ps -lq) datasette-sqlite

Now I can run it like this:

    docker run -it -p 8018:8018 datasette-sqlite datasette /tmp/test23.sqlite  -p 8018 -h 0.0.0.0 --load-extension /usr/local/lib/mod_spatialite.so
