IIRC from reading the source a while ago, buckets allow duplicate keys, but
Btrees don't. 

Is this a design decision? If yes, may I ask why?

Sleepycat's DB also allows duplicate keys, but again I think the Python
interfaces to it don't. 

(Actually, I've forgotten why I wanted duplicate keys. ;-)

Cheers.
