03:31 AM in the morning in Spain. Just working in porting bsddb to
python3000. I have a lot of issues compiling the C code and with the
2to3 automated conversion, but I'm pretty sure can get it ready for
october release.

I'm still loooking for a *GOOD* python2->python3 conversion guide for C
language modules.
