Problem is that there are many excellent Python web frameworks, and
those that use any popular Python O-R mapping system (SQLAlchemy,
SQLObjects) like for example Pylons or TurboGears work with Firebird
just fine out of the box. That same apply to frameworks that doesn't
have it's own mapper (CherryPy), so you're free to use whatever you
want. But Django uses it's own O-R mapping layer, so it's all about
whether there are any developers so much interested in Django and
Firebird that they would rather invest time to implement Firebird
support rather than use some other framework and be done with it.
