Works great.
Python and Firebird embedded (at least on Windows) is very simple to use.
Not currently using it on other platforms.

May I ask what do I need to use embedded Firebird from Python on Windows?

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?
