Accessing Oracle from Python remotely ?

[Bill Scherer]

Fred - 
I've not used it with oracle v7, but DCOracle works very well with
Oracle 8x.
It is available as part of the ZOracleDA package for Zope
(http://www.zope.org).  You do not need to install zope to use it.  Just
get the ZOracleDA package and untar it.  Follow the directions inside to
build DCOracle, then put the DCoracle directory in your PYHTHONPATH. 
You will need a proper installation of the Oracle client to build
DCOracle.

Good luck.
