Using cx_Oracle:

 >>> cursor.execute("create or replace procedure pump1(a in number) as 
begin null; end;")
 >>> cursor.callproc("pump1(1)")

Results in:

DatabaseError: ORA-06550: line 1, column 7:
PLS-00801: internal error [22503]
ORA-06550: line 1, column 7:
PL/SQL: Statement ignored

What do I need to fix?

My goal is to have an out parameter (or rmake pump1 a function) with data 
returned to Python. What do I change to do that? I'm assuming the create 
changes to:

"create or replace procedure pump1(a out number) as begin a := something; end;"

I also notice that if I make an error in the create statement, execute 
returns no error to Python!
