I do not use bsddb directly, but I use shelve which on Linux usually takes advantage of bsddb. Does removing bsddb mean that I will not be able to read shelve files written with Python 2.5 with Python 3.0? That would be quite disturbing to me.
Seems so. If bsddb is actually unavailable in Python 3.0, you would need to download/install it from PYPI. I'm committed to keep bsddb alive, in a way or another :). I'm thinking that if bsddb is discarded in Python 3.0, shelve probably drop it also, so installing bsddb externally will not "magically" make it available to 3.0 shelve. I can't comment about the python-dev plans here. PS: Remember that if you are installing bsddb as a separate package, its name will be "bsddb3", not "bsddb". - -- Jesus Cea Avion _/_/ _/_/_/ _/_/_/ jcea@jcea.es - http://www.jcea.es/ _/_/ _/_/ _/_/ _/_/ _/_/ jabber / xmpp:jcea@jabber.org _/_/ _/_/ _/_/_/_/_/ . _/_/ _/_/ _/_/ _/_/ _/_/ "Things are not so easy" _/_/ _/_/ _/_/ _/_/ _/_/ _/_/ "My name is Dump, Core Dump" _/_/_/ _/_/_/ _/_/ _/_/ "El amor es poner tu felicidad en la felicidad de otro" - Leibniz -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.8 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iQCVAwUBSL/jJZlgi5GaxT1NAQIzJAP8CiIxpoz553NDr+/1GkAfzs3W6fu1uBuo XsCmbqkiOMe9fPOBNZnlfoBnGz4C4nlOlOzQV3RexRXBiWKOqUUg4DlJOJtrAMUO ZNtcz9JyvjzmVNZMezgCsfjkEhzNABbCe9mXHQVCR5zlNZVUKpTW7A06/1eX/gMv ECJqQta662o= =6XBZ -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
