I need to be able to access Oracle from both Windows and *nix, however, it seems kind of tortuous getting everything working each time on each server. With Java I can just drop (usually the same) JDBC library files in a location and everything works. I'm sure there's some easier way of doing this with Python! Enlighten me!
