Ok, I think that was the prod I needed. I have the variables exported from the profiles of both root and plone (under which Zope should be running), but I apparently haven't set it in the right spot yet. If I log in as plone, a manual import of cx_Oracle works fine. However, if as root I "sudo -u plone /.../python" and try to import, I get the same error returned by ZcxOracleDA. Haven't figured out how to get around it yet, but it looks like this takes it out of the realm of Zope and into basic system administration.
Thanks,
