Marking closed, as promised; 2.7b1 has been out for nine days and there hasn't been a peep. If new problems crop up from the capsule backport, please create a new issue and assign it to me.
For posterity: 2.7b1 shipped with a bsddb that still publishes a CObject. This is the only CObject left in 2.7b1, and Python doesn't itself use that CObject for anything. Therefore there are no CObject exploits left in pure Python 2.7b1. I don't know if bsddb will switch to a capsule in a later Python 2.7 beta; that's up to Jesus and Benjamin and co. But I suspect it won't.
