Log Message:
Update to 4.7.3, because 4.6.4 doesn't support db4-4.7.x.

Changes:
(from http://www.jcea.es/programacion/pybsddb.htm, some things are
hyperlinks)

bsddb3-4.7.3: Integrated with Python 2.6 and 3.0 development
version. (20080831)

    * Email about the bsddb3-4.7.3pre1 released.

bsddb3-4.7.2: RELEASED. (20080807). Testsuite verified in Unix 32 bit
Python 2.3-2.6b2 and Berkeley DB 4.0-4.7.

If you are going to use replication (Replication Manager or Base
Replication), you should use Berkeley DB 4.6 or up. Previous Berkeley
DB versions are unsupported, when using these functionalities.

Available in PYPI. Changes:

    * Solved a race condition in Replication Manager testcode.

    * Changing any python code, automatically regenerates the Python3
version. The master version is Python2.

    * Compatibility with Python 3.0.

    * Solved a crash when DB handle creation fails. STINNER Victor -
http://bugs.python.org/issue3307

    * Improve internal error checking, as suggested by Neal Norwitz
when reviewing commit 63207 in Python SVN.

    * Routines without parameters should be defined so, as suggested
by Neal Norwitz when reviewing commit 63207 in Python SVN. The
resulting code is (marginally) faster, smaller and clearer.

    * Routines with a simple object parameter are defines so, as
suggested by Neal Norwitz when reviewing commit 63207 in Python
SVN. The resulting code is (marginally) faster, smaller and clearer.

    * Routines taking objects as arguments can parse them better, as
suggested by Neal Norwitz when reviewing commit 63207 in Python
SVN. The resulting code is (marginally) faster, smaller and clearer.

    * Improve testsuite behaviour under MS Windows.

    * Use ABC (Abstract Base Classes) under Python 2.6 and 3.0.

    * Support for "relative imports".

    * Replication testcode behaves better in heavily loaded machines.

bsddb3-4.7.1: RELEASED. (20080702). Testsuite verified in Unix 32 bit
Python 2.3-2.6b1 and Berkeley DB 4.0-4.7.

If you are going to use replication (Replication Manager or Base
Replication), you should use Berkeley DB 4.6 or up. Previous Berkeley
DB versions are unsupported, when using these functionalities.

Available in PYPI. Changes:

    * Workaround a problem with un-initialized threads with the
replication callback.

    * Export "DBRepUnavailError" exception.

    * Get rid of Berkeley DB 3.3 support. Rationale:
http://mailman.argo.es/pipermail/pybsddb/2008-March/000019.html

    * Better integration between Python test framework and bsddb3.

    * Improved Python 3.0 support in the C code.

    * Iteration over the database, using the legacy interface, now
raises a RuntimeError if the database changes while iterating.
http://bugs.python.org/issue2669 - gregory.p.smith

    * Create "set_private()" and "get_private()" methods for DB and
DBEnv objects, to allow applications to link an arbitrary object to a
DB/DBEnv. Useful for callbacks.

    * Support some more base replication calls: "DB_ENV->rep_start",
"DB_ENV->rep_sync", "DB_ENV->rep_set_config",
"DB_ENV->rep_get_config", "DB_ENV->rep_set_limit",
"DB_ENV->rep_get_limit", "DB_ENV->rep_set_request",
"DB_ENV->rep_get_request".

    * Support more base replication calls: "DB_ENV->rep_elect",
"DB_ENV->rep_set_transport" and "DB_ENV->rep_process_message". Support
also related flags.

bsddb3-4.7.0: RELEASED. (20080522). Testsuite verified in Unix 32 bit
Python 2.3-2.6a3 and Berkeley DB 4.0-4.7.

bsddb3 4.7.0 compiles against Berkeley DB 4.0-4.7. If you are
upgrading your Berkeley DB environment at the same time, be sure to
read the BDB upgrade notes carefully.

From this release, the only supported Berkeley DB versions are 4.x.
Support for Berkeley DB 3.3 is deprecated and will be deleted. Mailing
list thread discussing this.

Available in PYPI. Changes:

    * Support for Berkeley DB 4.7.

    * Support "DB_ENV->log_set_config", and related flags.

    * Complete the Berkeley DB Replication Manager support:
"DB_ENV->repmgr_site_list" and related flags. "DB_ENV->repmgr_stat",
"DB_ENV->repmgr_stat_print" and related flags.

    * Solved an old crash when building with debug python. (Neal Norwitz)

    * Extend the testsuite driver to check also against Python 2.6 (a3).

    * Support for RPC client service.

bsddb3-4.6.5: The work on this release is transfered to 4.7.0, since
Oracle just published Berkeley DB 4.7.25. (20080521)
