Description
I am currently using the Oracle JDBC driver via JayDeBeApi to connect to an oracle database, which is far from ideal. Unfortunately I have to make this connection via a SOCKS proxy for reasons outside of my control.
As I would like to port my application to python-oracledb, I am wondering if SOCKS proxy support is planned in the near or distant future?

Research direction
The issue names python-oracledb Thin Mode, SOCKS proxy support, and Oracle connectivity through JayDeBeApi and the JDBC driver, but no files or tests. Start by locating Thin Mode's connection and networking entry points; done would require a defined SOCKS-proxy scope, implementation, and coverage for Oracle connections through the proxy.
