Future for Python driver merging the pure driver with the ctypes interface to Firebird.

Leave a comment

Pavel Cisar wrote on firebird python list :
Those who attended my “Python drivers” session at conference in
Luxembourg already know that last two months I have worked on another
Python driver for Firebird (codename fdb). It was just an experiment how
far I could go in short time with another approach to implementation,
not real attempt to replace both existing drivers (KInterbasDB and
firebirdsql). However, it went so well, that we have a real chance to
get out a truly universal pure Python driver for Firebird next year.
Here are details…

The most important reason to supoort Python2.5 is “Jython”.
Now 0.4.1 work on CPython 2.5+(include 3.x), IronPython and Jython.

I have never test on PyPy

Django Firebird updates – now with support for introspection ready for Django 1.5 final

Leave a comment

Hi folks,

I just updated the google code version with fixes in introspection. It was backported from github version [1]
So, I encourage to try both but mainly the version at github with the new fdb driver [2].
In that way, we can have our new django-firebird adapter almost stable for release along with the final release of django 1.5.
