This is an experimental release of a rewritten version of the BerkeleyDB module by Robin Dunn. Starting from Greg Smith's version, which supports the 3.1.x versions of Sleepycat's DB library, I've translated the SWIG wrapper into hand-written C code.

Warnings: this module is experimental, so don't put it to production use. I've only compiled the code with the current Python CVS tree; there might be glitches with 1.5.2 which will need to be fixed. Cursor objects are implemented, but completely untested; methods might not work or might dump core. (DB and DbEnv objects are tested, and seem to work fine.)

Grab the code from this FTP directory: ftp://starship.python.net/pub/crew/amk/new/

Please report problems to me. Thanks!
