+\begin{notice}
+Beginning in 2.3 some Unix versions of Python may have a \module{bsddb185}
+module. This is present \emph{only} to allow backwards compatibility with
+systems which ship with the old Berkeley DB 1.85 database library. The
+\module{bsddb185} module should never be used directly in new code.

+\item[\module{bsddb185}]
+--- Backwards compatibility module for systems which still use the Berkeley
+DB 1.85 module. It is normally only available on certain BSD Unix-based
+systems. It should never be used directly.
