No, isn't that only if I have an actual Oracle client installed (not the instant client)? But great tip, wasn't exactly the solution, but your question triggered me to check the Windows environment variables*. I included env. variable name PATH and the value ;C:\Python31;C:\MinGW\bin;C:\TEMP \ORAIC10\bin. Only thing I set manually in the command prompt was: SET ORACLE_HOME=C: \TEMP\ORAIC10 , before the build. *=I checked the setup.py script which says: userOracleHome = os.environ.get("ORACLE_HOME") Checking in Visual Basic::environ("path") only included info from the Windows env. variables, and not the ones I set via the command prompt with PATH=%PATH%;... so I reckon if it applies to VB it also does for os.environ I can now import without errors! Thanks Alexander for putting me in the right direction. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
