That does look like a mess to deal with. It appears that we'd have to
wrap the execute() method to encode anything sent to Oracle, and wrap
fetchall() to encode the results.

You should commit what you have now anyway, as no one is relying on
that code, so you won't break anything. We can then see what needs to
be done to add unicode support.
