At present the only version of dev-python/bsddb3 we have got in the tree, 6.2.4, does not support python3_8. Moreover, it is almost 3 years old and according to PyPI two more versions have been released since. I have just confirmed that a) a trivial version bump to 6.2.6 works, and b) said version builds and tests fine with python_targets_python3_8. There are deprecation warnings but it seems they will only become fatal with 3.9.

According to upstream this version supports 3.9 as well but let us not get ahead of ourselves, shall we. Invoking maintainer time-out. On a fully up-to-date ~amd64 system, the test phase passes for all four PYTHON_COMPAT entries.
