Check: 1. Whta is the Python version your running, with py> import sys py> print sys.version 2.4.2 (#2, Sep 30 2005, 21:19:01) [GCC 4.0.2 20050808 (prerelease) (Ubuntu 4.0.1-4ubuntu8)] 2. Download the correct version of cx_Oracle see http://www.cxtools.net/default.aspx?nav=cxorlb then execute the command again - supposed your user is "myusername", your assword is "mypassword", and your dsn is "python".
The dns should match an entry in the 'tnsnames.ora' - the location of this file depends on running Oracle on a Windows or Unix server. If you need more help please post more info like: * Oracle version (including subnumbers) * Python version * cx_Oracle version * OS version * DNS entry * exact traceback -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
