Can anyone give me some help in installing DCOracle2 under
Windows NT?

I have:

   Windows NT Service Pack 5
   Python 2.0 from www.python.org installed.
   DCO2NTA6.ZIP from http://www.zope.org/Members/matt/dco2,
unzipped.

Should I do this? -- it complains about not being linked against
pthread:

   C:\Unzipped\Dco2nta6\ZOracleDA>   c:\python20\python.exe
setup.py install
   Traceback (most recent call last):
     File "setup.py", line 36, in ?
       raise exceptions.RuntimeError,'Python must be linked
against -lpthread'
   RuntimeError: Python must be linked against -lpthread

I copied dco2.pyd into C:\Python20\DLLs.

Then I get:

   In a python shell in IDLE:
   >>> import dco2
   Traceback (innermost last):
     File "<pyshell#7>", line 1, in ?
       import dco2
   ImportError: DLL load failed: The specified module could not
be found.

Any help would be appreciated.
