I still think we may want to pull PyBSDDB into the standard distro, as a way to provide BDB api's > 1.85. The question is, what would this new module be called? I dislike "bsddb3" -- which I think PyBSDDB itself uses -- because it links against BDB 4.0.
If this is just a question of naming, I recommend bsddb2 - not indicating the version of the database, but the version of the Python module.
If I hadn't made the initial mistake of naming pybsddb's module bsddb3 when i first extended robin's berkeleydb 2.x module to work with 3.0 I would agree with that name. I worry that having a module named bsddb2 might cause endless confusion as bsddb and bsddb3 already exist and did correlate to the version number. How about 'berkeleydb'?
