Bug#695608: python-kinterbasdb: RM python-kinterbasdb ; abandoned upstream , python-fdb will be packaged instead
Package: python-kinterbasdb
Version: 3.3.0-3
Severity: normal
python-kinterbasdb is abandoned upstream , the official Firebird python stable driver is fdb
http://wiki.python.org/moin/Firebird
http://pypi.python.org/pypi/fdb
http://fdb.readthedocs.org/en/latest/index.html
Installation for the fdb driver is done now with pip , but soon we will
have a package request for debian
The advantage for python-fdb driver is : pure python driver based on
ctypes, works with python 2.x and python 3.x
it is used in the torture QA testing of Firebird server so it is
maintained by the Firebird team
