FDB Python driver for Firebird v2.0 is available for download.

https://pypi.python.org/pypi/fdb

IMPORTANT: This is initial release of new “SweetBitter” driver generation.

During this (v2) generation FDB driver will undergo a transition from 
development centered around Python 2.7 / Firebird 2.x to development 
centered around Python 3 / Firebird 3. There are some backward 
incompatible changes between v2 and v1 generation, and you may expect 
some also between individual releases of second generation. To soften 
this bitter pill, the second generation will have new functionality, 
enhancements and optimalizations gradually added into each public release.

The second generation is also the last one that will directly support 
Python 2.7 and will be tested with Firebird 2.

The plan is to move forward with v3 generation (Python 3/Firebird 3+) as 
soon as v2 code base will become mature.

What's new:

* Hooks.
* New modules for parsing Firebird trace & audit logs (fdb.trace), gstat 
output (fdb.gstat) and server log (fdb.log)
* Added fdb.utils.ObjectList class for improved object collection 
manipulation.
* Modules monitor and schema now use new fdb.utils.ObjectList for 
collections of information objects.
* Methods fdb.Connection.database_info() and 
fdb.Transaction.transaction_info() now distinguish between text and 
binary strings with result_type code.
* Significant changes to documentation.
* Reworked Visitor Pattern support in schema module, added classes 
fdb.utils.Visitable and fdb.utils.Visitor.
* ...and more (including bug fixes).
