FDB 0.8.5 was tested on WinXP SP3 + Python 3.2.2.3 (from ActiveState) +
FB 2.5.1 with no problems at all. So it's either a bug in ctypes in
Python 3.2.3, which is very unlikely (AFAIK there were no changes in
ctypes between 3.2.2/3.2.3), or it's something weird in your Firebird
installation, as ctypes can't open the fbclient.dll. Do you have 64-bit
Firebird while 32-bit Python (or vice versa) by any chance?

You may test the problem directly from your Python, simply try next:

import ctypes
fb_library = ctypes.WinDLL('/path/to/fbclient.dll')
