I think I spoke too soon!  Are SQL functions which have out arguments
not allowed?  I get:
sqlalchemy.exceptions.SQLError: (DatabaseError) ORA-06572: Function
blah has out arguments.

Seems google is having problems right now too.  I tried to join but it
just times out so I am currently unable to post to the sqlalchemy
google group.

Anthing special I need to do to call an Oracle function via the func
method, which also has output parameters?
