.. function:: complete_statement(statement)

- Returns ``True`` if the string *statement* contains one or more complete SQL
- statements terminated by semicolons. It does not verify that the SQL is
- syntactically correct, only that there are no unclosed string literals and the
- statement is terminated by a semicolon.

- This can be used to build a shell for SQLite, as in the following example:
-
- .. literalinclude:: ../includes/sqlite3/complete_statement.py
+ Return ``True`` if the string *statement* appears to contain
+ one or more complete SQL statements.
+ No syntactic verification or parsing of any kind is performed,
+ other than checking that there are no unclosed string literals
+ and the statement is terminated by a semicolon.
+
+ For example::
+
+ >>> sqlite3.complete_statement("SELECT foo FROM bar;")
+ True
+ >>> sqlite3.complete_statement("SELECT foo")
+ False
+
+ This function may be useful during command-line input
+ to determine if the entered text seems to form a complete SQL statement,
+ or if additional input is needed before calling :meth:`~Cursor.execute`.

.. function:: enable_callback_tracebacks(flag, /)
