Hi. Why exactly are you installing bsddb3? I assume it's to get a specific script of ours working? Which one?

The problem appears to be that you do not have Berkeley DB install (at all, or its "development" sub-package).

I am not familiar with various ways people install Berkeley DB and Python on Windows, but one way that should work is via Cygwin. Also, if you use Python 2 (rather than 3) - which many of our scripts still support - then it comes with a version of Berkeley DB and the Python module bundled. This could be a simpler way for you to get the desired script working sufficiently to achieve your goal.

I'm closing this issue since it's not something we need to track, but please feel free to add comments.
