Barry Warsaw95aee622008-09-04 13:44:35 +000018* The bsddb3 package has been removed from the standard library. It is
19 available as a separate distutils based package from the Python Cheeseshop.
Barry Warsaw97f005d2008-12-03 16:46:14 +000020 If you need bsddb3 support in Python 3, you can find it here:

24* The email package needs quite a bit of work to make it consistent with
25 respect to bytes and strings. There have been discussions on

27 but this was not resolved in time for 3.0 final. With enough care though,
28 the email package in Python 3 should be about as usable as it is with Python
