We need to do /something/ about the bsddb module
documentation in Python 2.3.  The current docs are for
the old bsddb module and they're worse than out-of-date.  

Ideally, we'd import pybsddb's documentation in Python
latex format, and add docs for all the auxiliary
modules that come in the bsddb package.

If we don't have time for that, we should at least
update the docs to point to the pybsddb site and
document the list of additional modules.

Yes, this is important.  I've attached a patch against the
current python documentation that points to pybsddb.  I've
never edited the python latex docs before and am not
currently setup for compiling/viewing the updates or
verifying that i used the correct syntax.

can you review it and check it in if it makes sense?

unfortunately even the pybsddb project's documentation is a
bit dated (mostly in that several new features/functions
have been exposed since it was written) but it is a *much*
better starting point.

I cleaned up my patch and committed the update to the
documentation that mentions the modern Db and DbEnv
interface with a URL to the pybsddb documentation.  That
should suffice for now until proper pybsddb documentation
can be cleaned up, updated and put in as a TeX of its own.

I'm leaving this bug open in the Later state with a low
priority to track the inclusion of native Db, DbEnv object
documentation.

ReST format docs that cover what is actually implemented and wrapped in
python would be good.  We need a volunteer willing to go through and do it.

Done in the pybssdb module (the external one, not the included in python
distribution). Online docs available at
http://www.argo.es/~jcea/programacion/pybsddb_doc/

The source "rst" files should be directly usable in the stock 2.6
documentation.
