[pybsddb] Windows compilation error?

[sujoy chaudhuri]

Hi Hasanyasin/Jesus:

On a clean machine (Windows 7 professional) with Python 2.7 using your exe,
test_all.py fails - causing an app crash.

Ran each test individually:

test_associate pass
test_basic crash
test_compare

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "test_compare.py", line 273, in <module>
    unittest.main (defaultTest = 'suite')
  File "c:\python27\lib\unittest\main.py", line 94, in __init__
    self.parseArgs(argv)
  File "c:\python27\lib\unittest\main.py", line 149, in parseArgs
    self.createTests()
  File "c:\python27\lib\unittest\main.py", line 158, in createTests
    self.module)
  File "c:\python27\lib\unittest\loader.py", line 128, in loadTestsFromNames
    suites = [self.loadTestsFromName(name, module) for name in names]
  File "c:\python27\lib\unittest\loader.py", line 100, in loadTestsFromName
    parent, obj = obj, getattr(obj, part)
AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'suite'

test_compat crash
test_cursor_pget_bug crash
test_db pass
test_dbenv crash
test_dbobj crash
test_dbshelve crash
test_dbtables crash
test_distributed_transactions Ran 4 tests in 16.974 secs but crashes
test_early_close crash
test_fileid pass
test_get_none pass
test_join pass (no output)
test_lock pass
test_misc pass
test_pickle pass
test_queue crash
test_recno crash
test_replication crash
test_sequence crash
test_thread pass

Just thought i'd let you know...

Best
Sujoy
