I have just gotten done building Python 3.1.2 on HPUX 11.31 Itanium (IA64) using gcc 4.4.3, and have tried building cx_Oracle to go with it. The build succeeds, but test and importing does not. I have tried building Python with threads and without. The only exotic thing I do with the configure for python is to supply -mlp64, which makes it a 64 bit build. Python 3 appears to work just fine, and cx_Oracle has worked on this same architecture in the past with Python 2.6.5.
Help! I would really like to use Python 3, but Oracle support is a requirement. Everything I've read indicates it should work, but there is not a lot of people doing this or posting notes about their install problems or successes on HP-UX.
