[pybsddb] Missing db.DB_EID_INVALID

[Jon Nilsen]

Hi,

I'm working on a Grid storage solution written in Python. In our model 
all metadata are stored in a separate service, so we need to have a 
really ACID, highly available database. So now I'm working on 
implementing a replicated Berkeley DB using bsddb. The storage solution 
is part of the Grid middleware ARC (Advanced Resource Connector) and 
needs to use the communication framework of this middleware. So I need 
to use the base api to build a replication framework.

Do you know if anyone has used bsddb for this purpose?

It seems to be doable with bsddb, except for two missing identifiers; 
db.DB_EID_INVALID and db.DB_EID_BROADCAST. Is there any reason why these 
two identifiers are not available from bsddb?

Otherwise I think bsddb is an excellent product :)

cheers,
