help requested!
some time ago I submitted a request to add fbd support to sqlalchemy
That is now being implemented, but they have encountered a problem on OSX.
I know nothing about OSX, but it looks as if that version misses an
entrypoint, BLOB_open.
I am not sure which version of Firebird they are using.
Any help welcome
