I've been using the gvib adaptor in combination with Interbase 6.0 for
the last week or so and have been fairly pleased with it.  My needs
are fairly simple, so I can't provide an extensive review, but I have
yet to have a problem.

As far as I could tell when I was looking for an adaptor, Kinterbasedb
did not yet have support for Interbase 6, so I haven't tried it.

Those are the only two I was able to find after a bit of surfing.

If you are interested (and haven't used the python db-API before), I
have a little "tutorial" I wrote as I was figuring out how to use the
adaptor that I'd be happy to send along.
