Error while trying to retrieve text for error ORA-01804

I got the same error for cx_oracle (via python). For this specific case ORACLE_HOME was missing in environment variables.
Set Oracle_home with Windows Cli (use your oracle folder):

setx ORACLE_HOME  "C:\oracle\oc121\"

On some of the DB connections TNS_ADMIN is required also set that as well:

setx TNS_ADMIN "%ORACLE HOME%\network\admin"
