DCOracle2 is a Python DB API 2.0 adapter for Oracle 8. Based on the Oracle 8 OCI, DCOracle2 overcomes limitations of DCOracle which prevent new OCI 8 features from functioning (LOBs).
DCOracle2 comes with ZOracleDA, ready to install into Zope.
ZOracleDA included supports Z Oracle Stored Procedure objects. These bind the stored procedure name to a connection, suitable for calling from DTML or Python scripts.
NT users can download the ZIP file and uncompress into Zope's lib/python/Products directory; then, rename the directory from "DCO2" to "ZOracleDA". After performing the rename, run the "install.py" script in this directory to extract a pre-built binary for your system.
lib/python/Products
Unix users should untar the tar.gz file, and export the ORACLE_HOME environment variable to point at the Oracle installation. The top-level Makefile should attempt to figure out enough information to build DCOracle2.

Linux users note that you must have the Python development headers installed to compile; at this time no binary Linux distribution is packaged. For many RPM based systems, you need python-devel installed.
After compilation on Unix, the easiest thing to do is link lib/python/Products/ZOracleDA in Zope's tree to your DCO2 directory.
lib/python/Products/ZOracleDA
DCO2
Prebuilt binaries are available for Linux, Solaris, and Windows NT; no guarantees are made that these will link into your system.
Please see the included documentation (this version is poorly-converted HTML).
As of Beta 5, the pre-built binaries are bundled with the source distribution. From the root directory (DCO2) run the install.py file to try to copy a pre-built binary.
DCOracle2 is currently unmaintained, and no support is available.
You may check the CVS version of DCOracle2 out from the Zope.org cvs repository in the Products/DCOracle2 directory. Click here to download a current tarball.
