Looks like this is the same problem:

http://rubyforge.org/forum/forum.php?thread_id=6826&forum_id=1078

AFAICT, the solution suggested there is not viable in Python because
Pywin32 does not build under Cygwin.

On the bright side, it turns out that I was wrong about setting the
NLS_LANG in the registry not working -- I was just setting it in the
wrong place (the peril of having four different Oracle homes).  That
seems a bit draconian just to get one Python app working, however, so
I would appreciate any other suggestions.

Thanks,
Ian
