Install Oracle (cx_Oracle) module for Python

cx_Oracle 5.0

Oracle Database connector module for Python

I came across several (CodingNaked
WebSite & Pedro Emanuel de Castro Faria Blog ) howTo's on
the internet explaining how to compile and install previous versions of this connector. I decided to write my own howTo describing the latest version of the module (as of writing cx_Oracle 5.0).

(I am assuming you have the Xcode developers tools already installed since you will need the GCC compiler)

You need the follwing software:

Oracle Instant Client

cx_Oracle Module 5.0

Download the following packages from the Oracle Instant client site:

Instant Client Package - Basic

Instant Client Package - SQL*Plus

Instant Client Package - SDK

Extact all of these, then place their contents into a single directory

In my case I created a director called /opt/oracle/instantclient_10_2, and place all of the contents from all three archives in this directory.

Then run the following commands (assuming you created the same directory)

Now you need to edit you profile:

Copy and paste the below (Please note the paths and adjust accordingly)

now run the following commands (you need to do this or the build will fail).

I extracted the cx_Oracle module to /opt/oracle/cx_Oracle-5.0. All you have to do now is run these commands at the module will be built and installed.
