Thanks for the response Fazal.  I believe the python path is correct, as 
other python scripts run fine.  The dco2.pyd file is copied to the 
correct directory by the latest version of install.py that comes with 
it.  But when a script tries to import DCOracle2, I get an error saying 
it is looking for Buffer or DateTime, all of which are part of the Zope 
path.
