[cx-oracle-users] DLL Error - python 2.4, Oracle 8.1.7, cx_Oracle 4.1.2, Win XP SP2

[JP G. <jpg...@gm...>]

I am having the same problem loading the ori.dll that some other people hav=
e
mentioned on various lists, but I have not seen a solution anywhere. I have
Oracle SQL Plus installed on this PC (I didn't install it myself, it came t=
o
me second hand), and the ori.dll is in C:\orant\BIN, which is also on the
path.

When I import cx_Oracle I get this error:

"ImportError: DLL load failed: No se encontr=F3 el proceso especificado." (=
the
computer is mostly Spanish, but it says it has not found the specified
process).

I have seen comments that this is due to a mismatch in the versions of
Oracle or Python which the module is compiled against, but the only thing
that I see that could be the problem is the dll itself. This may be stupid
question, but is there a way to check the version of the dll? The file was
created on 11/11/1999.

SQL Plus connects to the Oracle server without problems. It seems to be a
problem between cx_Oracle and the ori.dll.

Any help appreciated!
