tags 621374 +patch thank you Matthias,
here is the patch. I have also checked the upstream of bsddb and compared the version supporting the db5.1 to the one in python2.7 and there is not code change related to forward compatibility (they just introduce new functions), so it can be safely assumed that my patch + recompile should work. Do you want similar check and patches for python2.[56]?
