Answer 1

Windows help:

1. Get the instant client from here.
2. Put the directory into your PATH variable.

3. Go to the command prompt (Win+R and type cmd) and set 2 variables matching your location- for example:

   set TNS_ADMIN=C:\instant_client\instantclient_11_2 set ORACLE_HOME=C:\instant_client\instantclient_11_2

Then install the cx_Oracle module from an exe. If you use pip or easy_install, ...good luck.

You can get the installer here: https://pypi.python.org/pypi/cx_Oracle/5.1.3
