There's nothing called DBT defined in the code you
posted. I'm guessing it's some C struct defined by
bsddb, in which case whatever is making the Python
call to your method must be passing it some kind
of Python object that's wrapping a DBT.

In that case, you'll have to consult the source
of pybsddb and find out enough about that object
type to declare it to Pyrex as an external
extension type, and extract a DBT * from it.
