Reread my post: setting up Oracle is the problem, not DCOracle, not
Python. The nice thing about the pure Java Oracle JDBC driver is that it
requires no Oracle installation/setup/configuration whatsoever outside of
your program - I can drop our app onto any Windows or Linux machine and
run it right out of the box; there's no installing Oracle client libs, no
setting up data sources, etc, etc.
