You are not asking in the right place. There is a firebird-Python list. As you may or may not be aware, the lead developer of kinterbasedb was killed last summer in a boating accident. Nobody has taken over from him. The Firebird Project needs Python too, as all of our QA tests and the QMtest system itself are written in Python. For this reason, Pavel Cisar is in the process of setting up an official Firebird sub-project for developing a new, fully implemented native Python driver for Firebird (but not InterBase). Help will be needed.

If you have interest in this area, please join firebird-python and make known how you are willing to assist. And please move this thread out of here.
