Accessing Oracle from Python

[Dan Ellis]

Hi,

I've been down so many dead ends trying to get something working, so
I'm really hoping someone can help out.

I need to access an Oracle database running on a Windows server from
Python running on Linux. I've tried building DCOracle2, but it seems
that the 'oracle-installclient-basic' thing I downloaded from the
Oracle site doesn't contain enough. I've tried various other
approaches, such as mxODBC/iODBC, but without much luck. I'm hoping to
not have to resort to a Windows solution.

Can someone help me figure out what combination of Python module,
Oracle download and/or ODBC driver will work?

Thanks,
Dan.
