Hey, I remember trying to compile Python 1.5 on an SCO OpenServer 5 box 
back in 1997 ! It was a mess so I downloaded an SCO binary instead (I 
think, my memory is not what it used to be, or is it?).

Why do you want to compile it ? You can download a binary Python 2.3.4 
from SCO Skunkware website, at http://www.caldera.com/skunkware/

Your URL:

ftp://ftp2.sco.com/pub/skunkware/osr5/vols/python-2.3.4-VOLS.cpio

Re: cx_Oracle failed to load DLL BUT versions correct

Hello
Having cx_Oracle (an Oracle database connector for Python) used it
here where I teach for the last couple of years, and finding it so
easy to use (and install) I was taken aback when I got an error
message telling me it could not load the DLL (complete message below)
Third, I've read (on activeState site) about someone else having this
problem which seemed to be resolved by correctly installing the
appropriate versions  of different software piece.
BUT no 1 : I works on my portable (that has the same configuration for
OS, Python and cx)
BUT no 2:  The same configuration gets the error message from our
classroom workstations -
after multiple testing, (uninstalling everything, python, Oracle,
cx_Oracle,etc) ,  cleaning the registry, re-installing from fresh
binaries ( Oracle works (SQL+) ) , the error stays...
HELP - Any hints, helps, things to look for, whatnot,
Many thanks in advance,

Have you installed any new Oracle software in this machine ? Or maybe, 
have you modified the PATH environment variable ?

This error usually means that your cx_Oracle.pyd module needs to load an 
Oracle DLL, but it doesn´t find it in the directories specified in the 
PATH variable, or it finds a DLL with the same name but different (and 
incompatible) version.

Hope this helps
