Marco, You clearly know more about python/java universe than i do. But im infinitely thankful to cx team for putting out the package. Feature and performance wise , even with non supported oracle timesten, it was fantastic. Id always go after "native" vs jdbc. But i understand that most of apps have a very general workflow of " select some, insert some/delete" thus most of the native features are not required..
