Hello, I started some profiling with '2.1.3 (#1, Sep 7 2002, 15:29:56) \n' and got the following output: 6067913 function calls in -3311.947 CPU seconds Also the cumulative times are affected (at least of some calls) It took some time to run my program and so I guess there's a overflow in the seconds counter.

There is a test code named test_env_close in bsddb/test, but it doesn't test the case thoroughly. There seems to be a bug in closing the db environment first -- the lock is not released, and sometimes it seg-faults. Following is the code that shows this bug. <code> import os from bsddb import db

An ideal result would be something like the...

Hi All, I writing a program to emulate a URL (essentially a very simple raw data proxy). The client should always think that it is only talking to the proxy and the proxy acts like the url it's emulating.

We've run into minidom's inabilty to handle large (20+MB) XML files, and need a replacement that can handle it. Unfortunately, we're pretty dependent on a DOM, so a pulldom or SAX replacement is likely out of the question for now. Has someone done a more efficient minidom replacement module that we can just drop in? Preferrably written in C?
