According to the Python 2.6.5 docs [1], the bsddb module has been deprecated for removal in Python 3.0.

What module/wrapper should I be using instead?

I recommend pyBSDdb (from which the version currently in Python standard's library was taken -- but the stand-alone project is more actively maintained and far from deprecated;-).
