\begin{notice}
Beginning in 2.3 some Unix versions of Python may have a \module{bsddb185}
module. This is present \emph{only} to allow backwards compatibility with
systems which ship with the old Berkeley DB 1.85 database library. The
\module{bsddb185} module should never be used directly in new code.
