You’re going to need to get a few libraries here: http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/topics/linuxx86-64soft-092277.html. RHEL 7 oracle-instantclient12.2-basic-12.2.0.1.0-1.x86_64.rpm oracle-instantclient12.2-basiclite-12.2.0.1.0-1.x86_64.rpm oracle-instantclient12.2-jdbc-12.2.0.1.0-1.x86_64.rpm oracle-instantclient12.2-sqlplus-12.2.0.1.0-1.x86_64.rpm oracle-instantclient12.2-odbc-12.2.0.1.0-1.x86_64.rpm RHEL 6 oracle-instantclient11.2-basic-11.2.0.4.0-1.x86_64.rpm oracle-instantclient11.2-basiclite-11.2.0.4.0-1.x86_64.rpm oracle-instantclient11.2-jdbc-11.2.0.4.0-1.x86_64.rpm oracle-instantclient11.2-sqlplus-11.2.0.4.0-1.x86_64.rpm oracle-instantclient11.2-devel-11.2.0.4.0-1.x86_64.rpm oracle-instantclient11.2-odbc-11.2.0.4.0-1.x86_64.rpm oracle-instantclient11.2-tools-11.2.0.4.0-1.x86_64.rpm Now you’ll need to add cx_Oracle: https://oracle.github.io/python-cx_Oracle/ if you are having issues with pip, you can try this link : https://pypi.python.org/pypi/cx_Oracle/5.3 Now you can start coding Python to […]
