Which, for me, started with getting my own Python.h so I could compile.
This entailed getting my own Python, so I concluded I was supposed to untar
ZOracleDA into my Python directory, not Zope's private Python directory...

Not if you think it goes in your Python directory, as opposed to Zope's
Python directory.  I'll move it and see what shakes loose.  You might want
to amend the installations to say to start by untarring in the Zope
directory, not the Python directory...

DCOracle works, though I had to get my own

Solaris.
