directory installed the cx_Oracle lib: /x/recon/test/cxOracle-main/python-cx_Oracle-main

test import: test.py import sys sys.path.append('./cxOracle-main/python-cx_Oracle-main/') import cx_Oracle

cx_Oracle has to be built before it can be used. See the documentation for details on how to do so. Note that you can use the --user option when using pip to get around lack of permissions. Another option is to use a virtual environment (using the venv module).
