Hajime Nakagami commented on firebird-python:

The most important reason to supoort Python2.5 is “Jython”.
Now 0.4.1 work on CPython 2.5+(include 3.x), IronPython and Jython.

I have never test on PyPy

pyfirebirdsql will become the next Firebird Python driver

First thanks Hajime Nakagami for your job

I really thinks that we need to put our effort on this driver so it became the Firebird Python driver instead of Kinterbasdb
here few points I saw :

– need a change in setup.py so install work
– transactions parameter we need the possibility to send custom transaction parameter buffers, for what I saw today transactions are (isc_tpb_write, isc_tpb_wait, isc_tpb_read_committed, isc_tpb_rec_version)
– need documentation
– can we extend it or create a new module to work with trace api ?

….

ps after a small change in setup.py I will certainly package it for
Mageia and Fedora
