Hello, I am using cx_Oracle for quite some time. On more then 120 computers everything works out fine.
My usage is on Windows XP / Windows 2003. The applications are bundled with py2exe. NOW there is ONE stubborn computer, which torments me with the error message: RuntimeError: Unable to acquire Oracle environment handle This error message appears when the py2exe bundled program trys to connect to oracle via cx_Oracle.connect The challenging part: on the same computer, when running the same program from source via python scriptname.py, all works out fine. Of course I googled this error, and found the various challenges with ORACLE_HOME ... and ORACLE_HOME *is* set to c:\oracle\ora92; within c:\oracle\ora92\bin there *is* an OCI.DLL, and windows path contains C:\oracle\ora92\bin; But still... on py2exed application, the error results, on non-py2exed, it works. Who can give me a push to check something in addition?
