It's solved: Because of a local full Oracle DB installation the "working" box had the registry key HKEY_LOCAL_SYSTEM\SOFTWARE\ORACLE\KEY_OraBD10g_home1\NLS_LANG set to "AMERICAN_AMERICA.WE8MSWIN1252". A similar key was missing on the other box. I added HKEY_LOCAL_SYSTEM\SOFTWARE\ORACLE\NLS_LANG with the same value and now it works. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
