Yes. :-)

I think I saw a complaint about this that specifically said that when
dbhash is imported when bsddb can't be imported, an incomplete dbhash
is left behind in sys.modules, and then a second import of dbhash will
succeed -- but of course it will define no objects. Since dbhash may
be imported elsewhere, testing for bsddb is safer.
