I'm not very experienced with DCOracle2, I'm currently using it like this,
with named parameters:

    cursor.callproc("someproc", PN_PROJ_ID=42)

So if you already have a dictionary that maps your parameter names to the
values you want to pass to the SP, you could use this form:


    parms = {"PN_PROJ_ID": 42, "PN_FOOBAR": "baz"}
    cursor.callproc("someproc", **parms)

Now I have a question - how are these forms of argument expansion (*args,
**kwargs) called in Python?
