This brings back "happy" memories with Oracle 9i and JDBC.

If I recall correctly, JDBC provided an API to stream the contents
into the column. That is, you needed to provide an instance of one of
the mutually incompatible Java stream classes (I don't remember which
one) when setting the value, and then the database would suck up the
contents. It's quite possible that a similar mechanism involving file-
like objects exists in the different Python modules for Oracle,
although I haven't checked.
