An experimental dialect for the Firebird python driver : fdb is added with this version please use it with Firebird >= 2.5.2
There were some issues with building the driver and Firebird 2.5.1 on Mac
Philippe Makowski wrote on Firebird general list
After the conference , if you want to play with my examples using
Robot Framework to test your Firebird databases, you can get all the
code here :

Have fun !
ps:
Seems to work quite nicely
Maximiliano Robaina announced :
There is a new version of django-firebird in github repository.
It is still alpha,You can test it with django 1.5 release.
This version is under development and uses the fdb python-firebird driver .
It’s tested only with django 1.5 master branch, so is possible it could fail with django 1.4.x (but it seems that works)
Given this is still in alpha stage we need that you try it and run the tests and give us feedback if it works for you. Also we need Python 3.x testers.
Update: Django 1.5 Beta is released
http://pypi.python.org/pypi/fdb/0.9Target for next (1.0) release: Firebird ARRAY support

You can also read the announcement on firebird-python list
There are quite a few changes if you watch the svn and github changelog
News via Maximiliano Robaina and here is the patch
To check more about the project you can check it’s homepage
Philippe Makowski announced that he just committed new files in github fdb repository
He implemented firebird services api for Python 3 driver, this driver version doesn’t work yet for Python 2, and it is only the first step.
Certainly some improvements would be welcome.You can see diff here
The hope is that he will start working on fbcore soon
