This is great! Does this mean we're even closer to using the
native/system python with chandler?
The bsddb extension is part of native python, provided you also have Berkeley
DB natively installed. I don't know which version of Berkeley DB 'native'
python is compiled against, if any at all.
In a way, the answer to your question is 'yes' since the python build no
longer depends on Berkeley DB. In another way, the answer to your question is
'no' since we tend to run on the latest python (2.4.2 at the moment) at that
is not 'native' on many platforms.
All patches but one in our python build have to do with build issues.
The one remaining non build patch has to do with bypassing the Windows
registry for locating extensions, a very old patch I don't remember the
purpose of (Morgen might know more about that one).
In other words, if the various platforms shipping python were shipping the
most recent one then we could now easily use it.
