Issue 8156: pybsddb 4.8.4 integration (original) (raw)

This issue tracks the progress of integration of pybsddb 4.8.3+ and centralize related discussion.

I have integrated all bsddb related patches until r78988, in pybsddb 4.8.3+, with the following caveats:

• The new code supports BDB 4.8, but drops support for 4.0. Berkeley DB 4.0 was released in 2001...

• Revert (the 2.7 part). This integration work supercedes it.

• is not integrated in pybsddb, but will be retained in the code integrated in python. I will try to resolve it in a permanent way after integration.

• is not integrated in pybsddb, but will be retained in the code integrated in python. I will try to resolve it in a permanent way after integration.

• : I can't reproduce this bug with current pybsddb version. I will keep the patch around, but first integration test will not include it, unless we still can reproduce.

Some changes in bsddb testsuite require 2.7/3.2. I have decided to keep the changes, so I have to backport some code and use conditional execution, because I must support python 2.3-2.7 and 3.0-3.2.
