Thanks for the pointer. Because of the need to have a specific amount
of swap space, I ended up installing Oracle 10g XE on a 32-bit server
(Linux Mint 12). No problems were encountered, until I ran the basic
test to ensure that everything is working (python 2.7, cx_Oracle 5.1.1
installed vi PyPI):

FAIL: test_unicode_data (modeltests.basic.tests.ModelTest)
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/home/vinay/projects/django3/tests/modeltests/basic/tests.py",
line 496, in test_unicode_data
    self.assertEqual(Article.objects.get(pk=a.id).headline,

- \xbf\xbf \xbf\xbf\xbf
+ \u6797\u539f \u3081\u3050\u307f

I realise this is an old error (I found a post from Dec 2009 about
it[1], but no reason was mentioned there, nor how to get around it).
I'm running with a UK locale, and after following the procedure in the
Wiki, if I look in the web interface for the NLS configuration, I get:

...
NLS_CHARACTERSET        WE8MSWIN1252
...
NLS_NCHAR_CHARACTERSET  AL16UTF16
...

As this is a Linux installation I've no idea why the 1252 character
set is configured, but in any case, since NLS_LANG is set to .UTF8 by
the backend, I assumed it wouldn't matter, but apparently it does :-(

Can anyone enlighten me as to what to do about this?

Thanks & regards,

Vinay Sajip
