Very relevant, indeed.

I will think about the "callback" option to convert both keys and values
(in both directions). This would be very nice if pybsddb classes could
be subclassed, inplementing in the subclass the appropiate conversion
methods.

But this is not going to be ready for 2.6/3.0.

Performance would be an issue, though. Although any code demanding the
callback conversion functions would do the conversion directly, so
paying for this work in a way or another.
