gdbm and bsddb are python wrappers for C libraries that aren't part of OSX, if you want to use them you have to install those C libraries manually (GNU DBM and Sleepycat DB). > >> * dl doesn't get build on OSX 10.6 when you use the default configure >> settings because that results in a 64-bit binary and setup.py explicitly >> disables building the dl module for 64-bit platforms.
