So it does:
% ./python
Python 2.1a1 (#2, Jan 23 2001, 23:30:41)
[GCC 2.95.3 19991030 (prerelease)] on linux2
Type "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import dbhash
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
File "/home/beluga/skip/src/python/dist/src/Lib/dbhash.py", line 3, in ?
import bsddb
ImportError: No module named bsddb
>>> import dbhash
>>>
Can that be construed as a bug? If import fails, shouldn't the stub module
that was inserted in sys.modules be removed?
