Answer 1

Here's how I got bsddb3 to work on my Mac.

First, download the Python module source (I used the .tar.gz version) from https://pypi.python.org/pypi/bsddb3/5.3.0

Next, make sure BerkeleyDB is installed. I use MacPorts and installed the db48 package. This places the includefiles in /opt/local/include/db48 and the libraries in /opt/local/lib/db48. If you're using HomeBrew, those locations might be different.

Unpack bsddb3 and install it using the correct paths:

python setup.py --berkeley-db-incdir=/opt/local/include/db48 --berkeley-db-libdir=/opt/local/lib/db48 install

After that, I had a working bsddb3 package. You still need to patch modules which try to include bsddb and replace it with bsddb3 instead.
