I am having a problem when I try to run a python application on a Sun server:

We had some problems like this too. If memory serves, an incompatibility between older versions (Oracle 7.x) of the Oracle Networking package, and the new version (Oracle 8) of the database "backend" was the cause. The new (Net8) code can talk to older RDBM engines, but the old code can't talk to Oracle 8. Good Luck, Jerry S.
