If I remember correctly it was decided to drop bsddb because the 
module isn't up to snuff, and there are too many versions of the 
underlying bsddb library out there.

But, on OSX the {n}dbm library is actually implemented with 
bsddb, so you can simply use the python anydbm module (or dbm or 
ndbm directly) to get a bsddb database.
