This module was started by Andrew Kuchling (amk) to remove the
dependency on SWIG in a package by Gregory P. Smith who based his work
on a similar package by Robin Dunn which wrapped Berkeley DB 2.7.x.

Development then returned full circle back to Robin Dunn working in
behalf of `Digital Creations`_ to complete the SWIG-less wrapping of the DB
3.x API and to build a solid unit test suite. Having completed that,
Robin was now busy with another project (wxPython_) and Greg returned as
maintainer.

`Jesus Cea Avion <https://www.jcea.es/programacion/pybsddb.htm>`__
is the maintainer of this code since February 2008, and ported it
to Python 3.x.
