[Python] pybsddb + python 2.7

Hi,
I do have an ActivePython 2.7 installation (Win. XP) and some programm
that has to read and write to a Berkeley DB.

I read that starting from python version 2.6(?) pybsddb was deprecated. I
dont understand the reason and I am looking to make this run.

I found some pybsddb 4.8.4, but could not make it run. Also I downloaded
the corresponding db-4.8.30 Berley db.

Has someone a hint for me, how I can fix this?
