Yes.  However,  different Sleepycat  DB  versions  use different  data
formats for the on-disk storage, so you may (*) need to run db_upgrade
on your data files.

(*) On some systems, in particular Linux, Python 2.2 was already using
a new libdb if available. In that case, Python 2.3 will merely expose
more of its API, and the underlying libdb will remain the same.
