Because of lack of replication API, I try to build BDB Python extension
usign Pyrex [1], it's really usefully.
I just copyd the define of consts and public handlers of structs directly
from "db.h", then did some replacements,
I had almost imported  all the API of BDB. What i need to do was write some
function wrappers,
to deal with arguments convertions and errors, and Pyrex can do most of
work.

I have attach the Pyrex code, made in a few hours, along by learning Pyrex.

# python setup.py build_ext

Is it a better idea to use Pyrex instead of raw C code to get more
productivity?
