FDB release 1.0 is out:
http://pypi.python.org/pypi/fdb
Improvements:
– Removed dependency on presence of fbclient library at import time. This caused some confusion to new users when fdb install failed when Firebird was not (yet) installed.
Bugs Fixed:
Python driver for firebird : fdb will have a package in the Debian repository in the near future
Philippe Makowski will create the package .
Driver is already packaged for : Mageia, Fedora, RHEL and FreeBSD
FDB release 0.9.9 (a.k.a. almost final) is out:
http://pypi.python.org/pypi/fdb
New Features:
– Firebird ARRAY support.
Other changes:
– Cursor.execute() returns Self, so it could be used as iterator.
– Reading output from Services now uses more efficient method to get data from server.
Bugs Fixed:
– Fix: precision_cache in Connection works as intended.
This was supposed to be 1.0 final release, but I’ve decided to make 1.0
mode optimized. So 0.9.9 is feature complete driver, and 1.0 release
planed for January 2013 would contain only optimizations (and bug fixes
if needed).

http://pypi.python.org/pypi/fdb/0.9Target for next (1.0) release: Firebird ARRAY support
New stable version is out and it includes support for the new Firebird driver fdb
Here is how the patch was done also a simple DAL example is attached
Maximiliano Robaina wrote on the firebird django group some words and questions about the future of the driver :
My ideas for future organization are:
The point 3 is the most important to discuss because it means the total drop of firebird 1.5.x support.
I have added to the group the notes for installing django 1.4.x firebird driver on ubuntu
ps: bonus for using the FDB driver is python 3.x support out of the box , that means we can start testing django 1.5 on python 3.x
Highlights for this release:
Target for next release: Documentation
FDB release 0.7.2 is out:
http://pypi.python.org/pypi/fdb/0.7.2
