[Python-Dev] Importing bsddb 4.6.21; with or without AES encryption?

[Gregory P. Smith]

In the past I believe we've built it with encryption.  Regardless, we
already ship encryption with Python thanks to the ssl module and I'm
assuming the PSF has taken care of the necessary silly export document
filing for the US so I see no reason to exclude it from bsddb.

I'm now wondering if we should only be importing the 'NC' source that doesn't contain any encryption?  Jesus, does pybsddb use any of the Berkeley DB encryption facilities?  Would anything break if we built the bsddb module without encryption?
