I tried doing:

import bsddb

on pythonb 2.7.2 installed with pythonbrew and got the error:

ImportError: No module named _bsddb

to fix this I had to install the package libdb4.8-dev and reinstall python 2.7.2. I wonder if pythonbrew should somehow check for this dependency or at least document this.
