Source and binary distributions for Windows are ready for download at

Completely reworked and extended documentation is also available
on-line at http://www.firebirdsql.org/devel/python/docs/3.3.0/

There Are no binary Linux packages of
KInterbasDB, only Windows ones, because you can easily install
KInterbasDB on Linux from source package by using: python setup.py build

what you need for successful source install is GCC and Firebird
installed.

SQLAlchemy 0.5.0 Released

The first official release of the 0.5 series is now available. This version packs a huge amount of change since 0.4 including multiple paradigm shifts in usage as well as countless bugfixes and behavioral and speed improvements. Through a series of prereleases, 0.5 is already on production systems and has been extensively tested by dozens of users. With the first 0.5 release, 0.6 is underway as well and will be where Py3k support is targeted. SQLAlchemy 0.5 is available for download on the download page. A comprehensive migration document is at 05Migration.

There is at least one firebird-specific change:

  • Added support for returning values from inserts (2.0+ only), updates and deletes (2.1+ only).

Progress on kinterbasdb 3.3 – xmas present

The initial version of kinterbasdb v3.3 was committed to subversion
(trunk)
. It’s basically v3.3 by David Rushby + fixes to v3.2 line we
made to make it work with FB 2.1. Source tarball and windows binaries
for fb 2.x & python 2.5/2.6 for testing should be available soon. Now
I’m working on documentation as this version introduces some important
new functionality (above all support for multiple transactions per
connection). I’ll also check the transliteration issue. If everything
would go smoothly, you can expect the final release before Christmas 😉
