I can't speak generally, but in cx_Oracle you either execute a query like this:

    result = cursor.var(cx_Oracle.NUMBER)
    cursor.execute(":1 := test_proc()", [result])
    print(result.getvalue())

or you use the non-standard callfunc method:

    print(cursor.callfunc("test_proc", cx_Oracle.NUMBER))

As a general solution, one might wrap a stored procedure that returns
a value into a stored procedure that has an output parameter and call
it with callproc.  Some implementations might include a return value
in the parameter list anyway.
