An Oracle module for Python

I'd like to announce preliminary availability of an Oracle interface
module for Python. The module is late beta and currently being used
by an associate of mine in production software. What I'd like is for
interested parties to contact me, (culliton@clark.net) so we can do a
semi-controlled test before turning it loose on the world.

The code was developed using Jack Jansen's "Modulator" package which I
highly recommend, and is also partly derived from Tom Poindexter's
oratcl bindings. It is a very basic interface to the Oracle OCI calls
but seems to provide good functionality. It was written in response
to a friend who was going to do a project in TCL because there was no
Oracle interface for Python. I think he's glad he used Python now. ;-)
