The key to extracting non-ASCII data is to set your NLS_LANG environment
before you import cx_oracle.  I would suggest using AL32UTF8 as the Oracle
language.  That will get you a nice modern UTF-8 that you can decode into
a unicode string in python.

You may also want to ask cx_oracle questions on the cx_oracle list.  It will
get you faster response.
