There should be executable Windows installers for both, so installation
should be quite easy.

Don't run it from Python prompt, it has it's own script runnable from
shell. If you don't have c:\Python25\Scripts directory already in your
path, do so. It would make the life easier. If you have installed
ActivePython from ActiveState, you should have associations to directly
run .py and .pyw files. Or you can create a .bat file if you like.

> and if you wanted to create tests, you can use qmedit

Tests could be created, edited, inspected and run in qmtest gui (qmtest
web interface) just fine, but qmedit makes development of
Firebird-related tests more easy (our qmtest extension has a lot of
built-in functionality parametrized by test options. They're harder to
navigate using a web page, so qmedit is specialized editor with more
concise interface). However, it requires wxPython installed (easy and
straightforward using windows installer
(http://www.wxpython.org/download.php, install the unicode version, not
ansi).
