Python w/ cx_Oracle lib

[David L. Peck]

Has anyone ever received the following error trying to run the cx_Oracle import in SPSS?

 

BEGIN PROGRAM PYTHON.

import spss

import cx­_Oracle

END PROGRAM.

 

 

 

Traceback (most recent call last):

  File "", line 3, in

ImportError: DLL load failed: A dynamic link library (DLL) initialization routine failed.

 

 

Thanks!

I am not familiar with the Oracle dll, but my first guess is that it was compiled with a different version of the compiler from Python or the plugin.  However, the syntax below is not legal.  The dll name can't have a hyphen in it.
