Re: [cx-oracle-users] Re: cx_Oracle Python utility

[Anthony T. <an...@co...>]

Its not a "feature" but rather a result of the fact that I only actually
use Python 2.2 and Python 2.3 now. I have no problem with a patch of
that nature. Have you run the test suite after building with that patch?
And does it pass completely (other than the Python 2.2 specific stuff)?

I don't have any problem applying such a patch. I am a little confused,
though. You say that cx_Oracle 3.1 builds acceptably under Python 2.1.3.
I assume that means that you got a warning about PyString_FromFormat
during compilation which turned into a dynamic link error at runtime?
You can either post this on SourceForge or simply resend me the patch in
an attachment -- either will do.
