Passing mode=None to cx_Oracle.connect()

[doerwalter]

https://cx-oracle.readthedocs.io/en/latest/module.html#cx_Oracle.Connection states that the default value for the mode parameter of cx_Oracle.connect is None. However when I do

db = cx_Oracle.connect("...", mode=None)

I get

TypeError: an integer is required (got type NoneType)

I guess that none of the constant listed in the documentation (SYSDBA, SYSASM, SYSOPER, SYSBKP, SYSDGD, SYSKMT or SYSRAC) gives me a "normal" connection, so a constant could be added for "normal" connection. But IMHO it would be better if mode=None was supported in the connect call.

Since a numeric value is required, None is not really a valid value. I can add a constant for "default" at some point, though. The value will be 0.

I've pushed a change that should resolve this for you. Take a look and let me know what you think. Thanks!

Looks good to me. Thanks!
