Support is candidate; independent reproduction is not qualified. Contributions are untrusted text.
Recommended action: Use Easy Connect (host:port/service_name) or a full connect descriptor, or pass config_dir='/path' (Thin) / init_oracle_client(config_dir=...) (Thick), or set TNS_ADMIN for the Python process.
Option: Use Easy Connect [evidence: official_recommended_action]
Applies when: See record scope.
Steps:
1. dsn='dbhost:1521/orclpdb'
Expected: Command proceeds without the error.
