The following instructions assume that you are using Debian Squeeze , the current 'stable' release. The instructions here are very specific, so look elsewhere for something more generic.

downloads :

Get registered on Oracle website, and download oracle-instantclient11.2-basic*.rpm (~40MB).

Get cx-Oracle rpm for your specific Python version and your specific processor (in my case, 3.1 and i386 respectively).

installation and setup :

If that last line executes without printing a message to the screen, the install is most likely successful.

For basic usage, see this tiny tutorial .
