For Fedora 14 (the actual stable Fedora) I made a private repository here : http://repos.fedorapeople.org/repos/makowski/firebird/
#python 3 firebird driver updated to 0.3.1
Tar.gz package is located in pypy repository .Small changes were made . also I forgot to mention the fixed bugs in the previous release.
First tests in the Amazon’s free Elastic Cloud 2
I have installed from source Firebird 2.5 in the new free (for one year only) micro instances from Amazon
But you can install firebird from tar.gz or rpm (seems that basic linux installed there is based on Centos) after that the sky is the limit : django , ruby , php or why not extjs pascal web servers
Don’t forget about the replication and backups 😉 This seems to be better than google GAE or microsoft hosting: no limits on number of database or number of queries
ps:you can connect securely to firebird by creating a ssh tunnel
#python 3 api for firebird is updated to version 0.3.0
Python 3.0 dbapi for firebird rdbms is now updated http://bit.ly/bg1jQf , you can check the commit history and re-tweet
