This is what I did so far:

#1. Install Python 2.6, Firebird 1.5 server (with libs and headers),
egenix mx base and mingw C compiler
#2. put "c:\MinGW\bin" on the PATH (or wherever it is)
#3. extract kinterbasdb source to a temp folder
#4. hack setup.cfg. Change the build section:

[build]
compiler=mingw32

#5. hack setup.py

Replace this:
customCompilerName = 'msvc'
With this:
customCompilerName = 'mingw32-gcc'

#6. run "python setup.py install"

The building and installation went find. But I cannot "import
kinterbasdb" because I get a "DLL load failed" error. I figured out that
has something to do with msvcr90 and "_ftime". Can you please give me
some advice how to solve this problem?

Thanks,

Laszlo

Download Microsoft Visual C++.2008 Express Edition

Its license does not allow us to create services for internet if we
charge fees. At least this is what I was told. Does this mean that using
kinterbasdb (compiled with MSVC express) I'm forbidden to write
commercial internet services? :-s

I see three options:

1) Ask a laywer.

2) Download the MSVC express compiled version from somewhere else. ;
adhere to the kinterbasdb license; let MS license issues not be your
problem - or at least now having "plausible deniability".

3) F*ck license issues. You're not redistributing anything, who will
know what software compiled with which compilers you're using?

Well, or just use mingw.

Is the license for the SDK (which includes the command line c++
compiler) the same? You only need the command line compiler, not the gui
that comes with the express edition.
