[cx-oracle-users] Version 5.1 vs 5.04

[Gerrat R. <gri...@co...>]

I had the windows version of cx_Oracle 5.04 for Oracle 11g for python
2.7 installed, and it worked fine (cx_Oracle-5.0.4-11g.win32-py2.7.msi).

It worked on an intranet web application as well as just at a command
prompt.

 

I upgraded to the 5.1 version (cx_Oracle-5.1-11g.win32-py2.7.msi) , and
I now get the message:

ImportError: DLL load failed: The specified module could not be found.

in my apache error logs when my web app tries importing cx_Oracle.  

Nothing else has changed.

I'm using an Oracle 11g client (and connecting to an Oracle 11g
database).

The latest version (5.1) works fine from a command prompt, but not from
the (Werkzeug) web application.

 

When I uninstalled it, and reinstalled the 5.04 version, everything
works again.

 

I don't really *need* to upgrade, but thought I might as well be using
the latest version.

 

Anyone have any thoughts on why this doesn't work now?

Do I need to do something extra with this version that wasn't required
with the previous?
