I compile cx_Oracle-44 with a python 2.4 version installed by macports and all works well. Many thanks.

However I got slews of error messages basically resulting from the fact that the root account did not have the right path variables set. As a workaround, I did the following for step V: 1. "Become Root": sudo su - 2. Inherit the environment from "me": . /Users/rmichaud/.bash_profile 3. Change directory to the location of cx_oracle and build it: cd (where your cx_oracle is) python setup.py build 4. Install python setup.py install. This seemed to work well so far, but there doesn't seem to be a test harness (sorry -- sorry about the throwback to my Perl days....)
