Long history sort: Python 2.7 backported Capsule support and (incorrectly, in my opinion) marked CObject as deprecated.

All C modules in the stdlib were updated to Capsule (with a CObject compatibility layer), except BSDDB, because this change was done late in the cycle, the proposed patch was buggy (solvable) and a pronouncement was done that CObject was not actually deprecated.

But in python 2.7 release, CObject is marked as deprecated (arg!), so when executing python with -We (mark warnings as errors), bsddb fails.

Since I think that adopting Capsule in BSDDB for 2.7.1 would break the API compatibility (maybe the CObject proxy would solve this), and since a previous pronouncement was done abour CObject not-deprecated in 2.7.x, I would like comments.

Long history and links to previous pronouncements in http://bugs.python.org/issue9675

My proposal: CObject should not be marked as deprecated in 2.7.1.

Thanks for your time and attention.
