You could use environment variable NLS_LANG to set it at run time with: os.environ["NLS_LANG"] = "AMERICAN_AMERICA.WE8MSWIN1252" import cx_Oracle ... This way you don't have to deal with registry on each box. Note that os.environ["NLS_LANG"] must be BEFORE import cx_Oracle. Domino -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
