This version of django-firebird is working with fbd [1] .Therefore it will work only with firebird 2.x and later. Also, the current master version of this repository is being developed under django 1.6. For previous Django stable version there is the stable/1.5.x branch and we consider the driver stable. fbd is the official stable python-firebird driver, also it has support for python 3.

Instructions for Ubuntu/Debian I assume you have installed django from source with python setup.py install

We also have a mailing list:

Code and issues is in GitHub:

Legacy driver
