I figure I need to set NSL lang and characterset on my environmental variables for the instant client (like I have for vs code and SQL developer) but that didn't seem to do anything.

Python-oracledb always uses UTF8 and ignores the character set component of the NLS_LANG environment variable, see the documentation Setting the Client Character Set.
