Just ran a few tests with it today and the version in the tree and i got 
a nice segfault when using the bsddb module:

import bsddb
db = bsddb.hashopen("/var/lib/rpm/Basenames", "r")

died on me. Simply installing the latest db4 and db4-devel and then 
rebuilding python fixed it for me.

Read ya, Phil
