[cx-oracle-users] oracle9i

[Mehdi <mes...@gm...>]

Hi
I have a seriuos problem. my python/pyramid app has to connect to an 
oracle9i database(i know that's pretty old).
Now i can't figure out how to do this with python 3.3 on windows. so far 
with oracle client 11g and prebuild cx_oracle 5.1.3.11g i'v got this error:
"cx_Oracle.InterfaceError: Unable to acquire Oracle environment handle".
I've already set PATH and ORACLE_HOME to oracle client 11g folder. but 
before installing python i'v installed oracle9i on my winxp sp3 machine.
Do i have to compile cx_oracle from the source? Can i connect to 
oracle9i server with oracle client 11g?
please help me.
Thanks.
