Erm

I just noticed

You're trying to use the C module alone

Dont

Instead, use DCOracle2

It wraps the C module for you

 >>> import DCOracle2
 >>> db = DCOracle2.connect('scott/tiger@glbl')

If you still get "an integer is required..."  then  setenv 
DCO2TRACELOG=dco2.tracelog

try again

send me the trace

*nothing* in the connect wants an integer, so I suspect something is 
FUNKY in your environment.

(Funky writing style courtesy of the music I'm listening to)

If you try to use the C interface natively, you have to code 
differently.  You can get faster results, but it isn't DB API compatible.
