Which ODBC module are you using? The one installed by default with the
win32 extensions (it's unsupported)? If yes, did you read
http://www.python.org/windows/win32/odbc.html

Stable solutions for accessing Oracle databases on Windows:
- mxODBC
- DCOracle2
- cx_Oracle
- ADO/win32 extensions (not a DB-API module, though)
