I built bsddb185, loaded old data, exported it to... I don't remember now, but I clearly remember I stopped using bsddb. > The lesson for python: when that happens lets write the code to make > the transition between formats trivial. For me the lesson is different - do not include modules in the stdlib that relies on unstable 3rd party libraries. I consider bsddb unstable. sqlite is more stable, but PySQLite... there are many minor releases between Python releases; my humble opinion is it'd be better to have one external PySQLite module than two (PySQLite and sqlite3).
