  ...release without strong cryptography. The old bsddb module code is still available as the bsddb185 module, but this is not built by default. Should you still be using a system which only has Berkeley DB 1.85 installed (often indicated by the presence of /usr/include/db.h but not /usr/lib/libdb.a file), the following changes should keep you running. Add this line: bsddb185 bsddbmodule.c to Modules/Setup. In most cases you should not require any -I, -L or -l flags. It seems on those systems wh...

• Built-in Package Support in Python 1.5

  ...released. Package authors may also decide not to support it, if they don't see a use for importing * from their package.

• Python Success Stories

  ...releases by some mysterious benefactor inside the organization using a random process I've given up trying to understand. One of them was Programming Python .
