I can't comment about bsddb status before my maintenance era (since March or so). But current release: http://www.jcea.es/programacion/pybsddb_doc/db.html#upgrade """ [EMAIL PROTECTED] Modules]$ grep -i upgrade * _bsddb.c:DB_upgrade(DBObject* self, PyObject* args) _bsddb.c: if (!PyArg_ParseTuple(args,"s|i:upgrade", &filename, &flags)) _bsddb.c: err = self->db->upgrade(self->db, filename, flags); _bsddb.c: MAKE_ENTRY(nupgrade); _bsddb.c: {"upgrade", (PyCFunction)DB_upgrade, METH_VARARGS}, _bsddb.c: ADD_INT(d, DB_UPGRADE); _bsddb.c: ADD_INT(d, DB_LOCK_UPGRADE); _bsddb.c: ADD_INT(d, DB_LOCK_UPGRADE_WRITE); _bsddb.c: ADD_INT(d, DB_LOCK_UPGRADE); """ >> Following your reasoning, Python should be >> keep in 1.0 era, for compatibility sake. > > Python?

(Just using pickle as an example.) Modern bsddb can read relic bsddb data; just do a "db_upgrade". >>> -- SQLite implements a subset of SQL - a powerful query language; >> Yes, a declarative language completely unrelated to Python. > > Sometimes being unrelated to Python is advantage.
