Getting closer, thanks Bill and Diez. $ export ORACLE_HOME $ ORACLE_HOME=/usr/lib/oracle/xe/app/oracle/product/10.2.0/client $ python setup.py build $ sudo python setup.py install
$ python -c "import cx_Oracle" Traceback (most recent call last): File "<string>", line 1, in ? ImportError: libclntsh.so.10.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory guessing I need to add /usr/lib/oracle/xe/app/oracle/product/10.2.0/client/lib/ to some path? btw - anyone know of a .deb that will install this?
