Hi,
I'm trying to install kinterbasedb 3.3. I'm using Python 2.6 and Firebird 1.5 on Windows XP.
I do my research about how to install it and I found what I need to compile kinterbasdb to work with Firebird 1.5.
(Actually I need to install kinterbasdb on virtualenv too.)


Then I tried to compile kinterbase using MinGW.
The compile result was:

D:\dev\Python\soft\db\kinterbasdb-3.3.0>python setup.py build --compile=mingw32
running build
running build_py
creating build
creating build\lib.win32-2.6
creating build\lib.win32-2.6\kinterbasdb
copying .\__init__.py -> build\lib.win32-2.6\kinterbasdb
copying .\k_exceptions.py -> build\lib.win32-2.6\kinterbasdb
copying .\typeconv_naked.py -> build\lib.win32-2.6\kinterbasdb
copying .\typeconv_backcompat.py -> build\lib.win32-2.6\kinterbasdb

Here all seems ok, but when I try to test it:

win32

>>> import kinterbasdb

What's wrong here?
What's my mistake?

Any help will be apreciated.
