i think the latter would be the optimal solution.
I agree with you in the context of a Python-based SOAP client; I just
wasn't sure which approach your solution took in order to manage
different transmission protocols. I haven't seen anything on a
python-based Oracle client, but maybe you know of something out
there. I'm also not experienced at all in Python development, using
it solely for the Qooxdoo tools at the present time.
i'm only doing transmission over http(s). i connect to the database via
native database libraries.
sqlalchemy is the de facto orm and a cross database imperative sql
generation library for python. it's a good start that handles lots of
things for you.
it has a feature called "database reflection" that deduces the table
structure by directly looking at the database -- the exact thing i
imagine you'll need as your database schema is defined somewhere else.
http://wiki.oracle.com/page/Python
could also be of interest, but i'd imagine most of the work depicted
there is already done by sqlalchemy devs.
