How to get the journal mode of my sqlite db

How can I get the journal mode of my sqlite db using sqlalchemy?

@event.listens_for(Engine, "connect")
def set_sqlite_pragma(dbapi_connection, connection_record):
    print "PRAGMA start"
    cursor = dbapi_connection.cursor()
    print cursor.execute("PRAGMA journal_mode=WAL;")
    print cursor.execute("PRAGMA journal_mode;")
    cursor.close()
    print "PRAGMA end"

Can I use cursor object? I am not sure how to retrieve it.
