Sorry?! What You mean "calling a function from a shell"?

Oh, that's *slow*. And why in this way? Or I something missunderstood?

Are You new to the Zope? Well... Zope does not use interpreter from the=20
/usr/bin/python (or /usr/local/bin/python) and all the stuff in the=20
/usr/lib/python/* but uses it's own interpteter. So You should setup=20
DCOracle2 for the interpter which Zope uses.

First, that you have installed in wrong way, and probably something misse=
d=20
here. Just run the following:

=09cd /where/your/unpacked/DCOracle2
=09$zope_home/bin/python setup.py install

Then (this *I* did, but You can do that in other way) just put all the Or=
acle=20
environment variables into the script which starts the Zope. It might be=20
$zope_home/start, but better some wrapper in /etc/init.d/zope or whatever=
=2E

This is the common Oracle Client env. variables in case I've installed it=
 into=20
the root as "/oracle":

ORACLE_HOME=3D/oracle
NLS_LANG=3DAMERICAN_AMERICA.LT8MSWIN921
ORACLE_SID=3DDVLP
PATH=3D$PATH:/oracle/bin
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=3D/oracle/lib
export ORACLE_HOME
export NLS_LANG
export ORACLE_SID
export PATH
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH

You welcome, HTH.

P.S. Windows-depending problems I don't know and wouldn't.
P.P.S. Matt might bite me for the adding Oracle env. into the Zope=20
startscript. :D
