Re: [cx-oracle-users] libclntsh.so and setup.py

[D.R. B. <da...@as...>]

Hello Aurélien,

My apologies in advance if I misinterpret your question, but cx_Oracle
only uses ORACLE_HOME to find the Oracle sdk for  the include files
when you compile cx_Oracle. If we look at the source code of cx_Oracle
we'll see there is no reference to ORACLE_HOME at all.
Perhaps you mean that cx_Oracle does not look at LD_LIBRARY_PATH when
you import the module from python. On all the platforms I have tried
LD_LIBRARY_PATH is used, however, so I am wondering what platform you
use or what else is going on.
In any case, after cx_Oracle has been built ORACLE_HOME does not have
to be defined, which is what you seem to suggest in your example.

Salut,

Danny
