Subject Can't install fdb 0.8.5
Author skoczian
Hello,

I tried to install fdb 0.8.5, first using pip, then "python setup.py install", but got both times the same exception:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<string>", line 14, in <module>
File "c:\Python32\Scripts\build\fdb\setup.py", line 7, in <module>
from fdb import __version__
File "fdb\__init__.py", line 23, in <module>
from fdb.fbcore import *
File "fdb\fbcore.py", line 26, in <module>
from . import ibase
File "fdb\ibase.py", line 39, in <module>
fb_library = WinDLL(fb_library_name)
File "C:\Python32\lib\ctypes\__init__.py", line 353, in __init__
self._handle = _dlopen(self._name, mode)
TypeError: bad argument type for built-in operation

Windows 7 Home Premium, Firebird 2.5.1 (locally installed), Python 3.2.3

What can I do?

Thank you,
Sibylle
