Python 3.7 support #6

Closed mrx23dot closed 2 years ago

mrx23dot commented 2 years ago

Python 3.8+ requirements is quite restrictive, e.g. current Amazon AWS VPS servers come with Python 3.7.3

RasperryPi-s max out at v3.5 (after apt-get)

What's the bottleneck for not using v3.6 or v3.5?

pcisar commented 2 years ago

Because it uses features from 3.8 not present in 3.6/3.7. If you need support of older Python versions (including 2.7), you may use the legacy FDB driver. Given that current stable version is 3.10, requirement for 3.8 is not that far-fetched.

Thank you, a link to FDB would be nice in readme pages/pypi for anyone using the older one.

Where can I download Firebird client library for windows? I couldn't find it, and FDB expects it, I guess this lib too.

pcisar commented 2 years ago

Firebird client library is part of Firebird distribution, so just download one you need.
