Leave a comment
Here are my install instructions on Ubuntu/Debian for Mezzanine CMS
First install Firebird 2.5.2 , Then install django and fdb driver
sudo pip install django
sudo pip install fdb
sudo pip install mezzanine
Install django-firebird driver like is described on the github page
Create new mezzanine project:
mezzanine-project firebird-mezzanine
cd firebird-mezzanine
create empty database from isql-fb / flamerobin
isql-fb
SQL> create database “localhost:/var/lib/firebird/2.5/data/firebird-mezzanine.fdb” user ‘SYSDBA’ password ‘masterkey’;
SQL> quit;
create local config for firebird
python manage.py createdb
python manage.py runserver
look at the first results after the wordpress import (i was so impressed that i have removed the old wordpress.com account)
next step : blogspot import is in progress

Leave a comment

The ChangeLog includes many patches:

  •  Fix fetchonemap() and correct test
  •  Fix issue #35 add timeout parameter to conduit.wait()

Here is the download page.
You can also use pip to install/upgrade the package

sudo pip install firebirdsql

For full list of commits consult the github page

ps: pyFirebirdSQL is pure python so it can work without any other so/dll installed and it can be used for example in places where there is no Firebird client installed (think of an android/ios python script)

Django Firebird updates – now with support for introspection ready for Django 1.5 final

Leave a comment

Hi folks,

I just updated the google code version with fixes in introspection. It was backported from github version [1]
So, I encourage to try both but mainly the version at github with the new fdb driver [2].
In that way, we can have our new django-firebird adapter almost stable for release along with the final release of django 1.5.
