With this email I confirm that bsddb work for 2.6/3.0 rc1 is done.

I have some issues with the buildbots, nevertheless. See:
<http://www.python.org/dev/buildbot/3.0.stable/g4 osx.4
3.0/builds/1334/step-test/0>, for example.

"""

Re-running test 'test_bsddb3' in verbose mode

I can't reproduce the issue in my local Python3.0 development version
(here, all tests passes fine). Any suggestion?.

"Decoding" the "db.DB_VERSION_STRING" byte string would solve the error,
but I rather prefer to know WHY I am having this issue at all. My
Python3.0 "str()" has no any issue with byte values:

Help appreciated.
