Thanks for making me aware of that. So if you change PersistentDB to do 
"from _threading_local import local" instead of "from threading import 
local" or if you raise an ImportError so that the implementation in 
PersistentDB is used, then it works?

That means we should probably make this configurable or always use the 
Python implementation (but the C implementation is faster). Other ideas?

By the way, a pre-release of DBUtils 1.0 is available at
http://www.webwareforpython.org/downloads/DBUtils/DBUtils-1.0pre.tar.gz

If there are other things to consider for DBUtils 1.0, let me know.
