The firebird-driver package provides official Python Database API 2.0-compliant driver. In addition to the minimal feature set of the standard Python DB API, this driver also exposes the new (interface-based) client API introduced in Firebird 3, and number of additional extensions and enhancements for convenient use of Firebird RDBMS. The driver is written as pure-Python package (requires Python 3.8+) on top of Firebird client library (fbclient.so/dll) using ctypes. Driver supports Firebird version 3.0 and higher.
Minimal requirements:
- Python: 3.8
- Firebird: 3
You can download this driver from PyPI or install it using pip:
pip install firebird-driver
See also firebird-lib package for optional extensions to this driver.
