Robin Dunn & Andrew Kuchling's PyBSDDB3
pybsddb.sf.net
It claims to be a backwards compatible drop in for the default bsddb
module, supporting back to 1.85. It's been On My List of things to
look at for a while now, but I just haven't had time. I've used
PyBSDDB3 for some Zope/ZODB work and it seems quite stable. I'd like
it to be the default for Python 2.2 if the backwards compatibility
works out acceptably.
