DCOracle Installation Instructions

The first step is to build the extension modules used by DCOracle. See the README.txt in the source directory.

The DCOracle package is a Python package. To install it, simply copy (or on Unix link) the DCOracle directory to a directory in your Python search path.

Note that, as with any Oracle application, you must have the usual Oracle run-time software installed and have the ORACLE_HOME environment variable set as described in the Oracle documentation.
