Answer 1

Unknown92 answer helped me (on windows). Note that all versions must fit.

I've downloaded cx_Oracle here, for me the file cx_Oracle-5.2.1-12c.win-amd64-py3.5.exe worked with:

• Python 3.5.1 64bit. for some reason the default download link from the main page is for the 32bit version.
• And oracle instance client 12.1.0.2.0 (the file named instantclient-basic-windows.x64-12.1.0.2.0.zip) here.
