Old driver
svn co https://firebird.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/firebird/python/kinterbasdb/trunk/ kinterbasdb
cd kinterbasdb
sudo python setup.py install


New driver can installed with
pip install fdb


To use the documentation for the moment you can use the kinterbasdb
one just for reference
http://www.firebirdsql.org/file/documentation/drivers_documentation/python/3.3.0/tutorial.html#connecting-to-a-database
this might be handy
import fdb as kinterbasdb
