Which Firebird download (http://www.firebirdsql.org/download/prerelease/win32/Firebird-2.0.0.12169-0_embed_win32.zip ?) and which Python module (http://kinterbasdb.sourceforge.net/ ?) Do I understand it right, that I can use Firebird database in the same way as I can use the Berkeley one provided in Python standard distribution?

That depends on what you mean by the same way... As with Berkeley, you can use it in-process, and don't need a separate server process. On the other hand, it's a full SQL database, not a persistent mapping as Berkeley DB etc. It's better to compare it with SQLite, but it's not as lite. That is, it support more of the SQL standards. Firebird can also be used as a database server, not just as an embedded database. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
Re: Firebird and Python
All the info you need is in the kinterbasdb module. I've worked with it under windows and Linux and... it just works. Really well indeed. I'd recommend it a lot. http://kinterbasdb.sourceforge.net/dist_docs/usage.html#faq_fep_embedded_using_with -- Asier. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

Thanks also to Magnus (yes I asked for the in-process feature). Claudio -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
