I added some print debug statements, the relevant ones are:
print 'found lib:'
print clientLibDir
if clientLibDir:
origOSPath = os.environ['PATH'].decode(_FS_ENCODING)
os.environ['PATH'] = (
origOSPath + os.pathsep + clientLibDir
).encode(_FS_ENCODING)

print 'path with found lib'
print os.environ['PATH']

# At least with FB 1.5.2, the FIREBIRD environment variable must
# also be set in order for all features to work properly.
os.environ['FIREBIRD'] = clientLibDir.encode(_FS_ENCODING)
print 'os env:'
print os.environ['FIREBIRD']

And I get this:

found lib:
C:\Program Files\TheWineCellarBook\prog
path with found lib
C:\WINDOWS\system32;C:\WINDOWS;C:\WINDOWS\System32\Wbem;C:\Program
Files\QuickTi
me\QTSystem\;C:\Program Files\TheWineCellarBook\prog
os env:
C:\Program Files\TheWineCellarBook\prog

So, fbclient.dll is found in the right place, but I think the path is
not correctly set, should it not put the folder at the beginning of the
path?

I.e. change the code from:
os.environ['PATH'] = (
origOSPath + os.pathsep + clientLibDir
).encode(_FS_ENCODING)

to:
os.environ['PATH'] = (
clientLibDir + os.pathsep + origOSPath
).encode(_FS_ENCODING)

BTW, the version string for 3.3.0 which I just downloaded says:

(3, 3, 0, 'pre-alpha', 0)

should it not be final?
