Bug: whichdb.py of python 1.5.2 at suse linux 6.2

[Mirko Liss]

Hi,

the distribution SuSE 6.2 (linux at ix86) comes with
a flavour of bsd-db that uses the magic key 0 (zero) in
its databases. This feature makes it impossible to open 
existing shelves.

This can be fixed by editing /usr/lib/python/whichdb.py :

    # Check for BSD hash
# patch for suse 6.2 , mirko liss
#    if magic in (0x00061561, 0x61150600):
    if magic in (0x00061561, 0x61150600, 0):
        return "dbhash"
                 

regards,
 Mirko
