You have installed pybsddb library wich is imported via "import
bsddb3", but your program try to use standard bsddb library via
"import bsddb". The bsddb module must be included in your standard
python distribution, but some package managers are very creatives.

I don't know anything about opensolaris' package system. But they must
provide a solution (variants or aditional package).

This mailing list is about bsddb3 module, but maybe you are lucky and
someone uses opensolaris here.

You can do a dirty (very very dirty) hack monkey patching bsddb module
with bsddb3. But you don't want, isn't?
