[cx-oracle-users] OraPIG (python wrappers for Oracle) is now released

[Mark H. <mh...@pi...>]

I'm pleased to announce the initial release of OraPIG,
the Oracle Python Interface Generator.

OraPIG generates Python wrapper classes for Oracle packages.

If you use Oracle and Python, this might be a pretty useful
package for you.  Download it and let us know what
you think!

Cheers,
Mark

Quick Example:  Suppose you have a package called tiny
with a single procedure p:

     create or replace package tiny
     as
         procedure p(x in number);
     end tiny;

OraPIG will generate a wrapper class that will allow you to
use the package without having to use the various database
calls. Instead, the wrapper class will be instantiated and
called just like any other Python class:

     class Tiny:
         def __init__(self,curs):  # instantiate class with a cursor
             ...
         def p(self,x):            # call procedure p(x)
             ...

Here's how it's used:

     import cx_Oracle
     import tiny
     conn = cx_Oracle.connect('scott/tiger')
     curs = conn.cursor()

     mytiny = tiny.Tiny(curs)
     mytiny.p(2)           # call a procedure
     curs.commit()         # not done automatically
