[cx-oracle-users] cx_Oracle and Python 2.4.1 on Windows

[Carl B. <cbi...@nr...>]

All,

I am running Python 2.4.1 on a windows XP machine
(with service pack 2).  I installed the cx_oracle
module for Pyhton 2.5 and Oracle 10g.

When I import the module with the command

import cx_Oracle

I receive the following error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
   File "<pyshell#0>", line 1, in -toplevel-
     import cx_Oracle
ImportError: DLL load failed: The specified module could not be found.

The cx_Oracle.pyd has been installed in the
c:\python24\lib\site-packages directory and that
directory is in the sys.path directory.

If this were an incorrectly named file I would have
received the error:

ImportError: No module named cx_oracle

Could anyone suggest a fix for this problem?

Many thanks in advance,
Carl
