I wrote the Oracle patch and it's working fairly well for me at the
moment, you can download and apply it from the ticket tracker now*, if
you're feeling adventurous.
I've recently been granted commit access to the "magic removal" branch
in development for the express purpose of merging in my patch and
getting it released "soon". So the quick answer to your question of
'how "soon" is soon' is:
Oracle support will hopefully** come when the magic removal branch (aka
"Django 0.92") is released. (I'm not a core Django dev, but I think
they're planning on weeks, not months for the eventual release of 0.92)
And with that said, when Oracle support does ship, it'll be *new*. So
even though it'll be unit-tested, it won't have a huge base of "road
testing" (other than my experience with it). So don't go build
lifesaving Django-on-Oracle emergency medical equipment with it just
yet. ;-)

and resolve any potential issues with it before the "magic removal"
branch gets merged with trunk and released.
