Answer 1

Make sure you have installed the correct oracle client (you can find the oracle client package from here "https://www.oracle.com/in/database/technologies/instant-client/winx64-64-downloads.html" and add the downloaded folder inside the folder where python is installed and then add this location (location of your client package folder) to system's environment variable. Hope that will work.
