berkeleydb.db.version()
(5, 3, 28)

The issue might come from the fact that the Python 3.11 installation is 
dockerized and used a different Linux distribution than the old Python 
3.6 version with bsddb3.

I'm going to run a few tests on my side, but I think this is very much 
fixable. Am I right to assume that a file created with BerkeleyDB 5.3.28 
can be opened with BerkeleyDB 6.2.32, but not the other way around, 
which is what I'm seeing now?

Thanks for your help.
