It doesn't seem like the python 2.4(and the recent 2.4.1) support berkeley db 4.3. (4.3 fixes some deadlock bugs I occasionally encounter using 4.2.)
bsddb3(at pybsddb.sf.net) already supports 4.3 since last December(but doesn't explicitly support win32 -- see the assert statement in setup.py). I thought the bsddb3 project were merged into the python project. Hasn't it? -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
