Firebird Database Driver (fdb)

fdb is a Python driver for the Firebird relational database, implementing the Python DB-API 2.0 specification. While its PyPI summary refers to it as a "Legacy Python driver for Firebird 2.5", it continues to be actively maintained with recent releases (v2.0.4) fixing compatibility issues up to Python 3.13. It primarily interacts with Firebird via the native client library. The project has an active, though not rapid, release cadence, with updates addressing bugs and modern Python compatibility.
