I don't think, that this would be important right now. Maybe
one of the reasons to need new Python driver are the FB2.1
enhancements. But having a new pure Python driver would be
an achievement in itself and if done, further enhancements
are within easy reach.

So it's just "import xdrlib" and being bold, an optimist would say.

For a start, a tool dumping (more or less decoded) communication
between a client a Firebird would be of great help. Any ideas
whether such a thing exists? I don't mean typical network
monitors, which will only give the raw bytestream, I assume.
