I used it a little in mid-2006. I ran into one issue that I resolved by
looking at the C source and fiddling with the Python interface. I sent mail
to the people mentioned in the bsddb README file. One (Barry Warsaw)
answered to say he hadn't looked at the code in a couple of years and was
probably not the person to contact.

I'm also interested in any ongoing or planned work on the Python interface.
