This is a bug in ctypes find_library, see http://bugs.python.org/issue16283 As only stars know when it would be fixed, I'll apply your patch as it appears as good enough workaround that doesn't have any unwanted side effects on other platforms nor Windows in general.

fbclient.dll is not found by _dlopen.
Traceback (most recent call last): File "test_fb.py", line 4, in <module> import fdb File "D:\Python33\lib\site-packages\fdb-1.0-py3.3.egg\fdb\__init__.py", line 23, in <module> from fdb.fbcore import * File "D:\Python33\lib\site-packages\fdb-1.0-py3.3.egg\fdb\http://fbcore.py", line 26, in <module> from . import ibase File "D:\Python33\lib\site-packages\fdb-1.0-py3.3.egg\fdb\http://ibase.py", line 41, in <module> fb_library = WinDLL(fb_library_name) File "D:\Python33\lib\ctypes\__init__.py", line 353, in __init__ self._handle = _dlopen(self._name, mode) TypeError: bad argument type for built-in operation
I fixed it for myselt by adding: elif sys.platform in ['win32']: fb_library_name = find_library('fbclient.dll')
into http://ibase.py. But i don't know, if it's needed for every Python versions/Windows version. I don't have 64 bit python installed, so I don't know, if it is issue there do. In that case probably 64 bit Windows should probably have special behavior also.
