I wasted a good couple of hours today trying to get cx_Oracle running on my Mac. I didn't have any luck - Oracle's Mac client is PPC only. You can still run it in an Intel Mac due to the magic of Rosetta, but you don't seem to be able to compile against it, so these instructions don't work for me.
Anyone got a binary I can snarf?

Alternatively try and ask on the Oracle Python and Apple forums;

And have a poke around the OTN 'scripting' languages technology centre;

Although it was a 404 when I just tried it.
Top thread on the Oracle/Apple forum at the moment is this one;

If you go to the last page there are rumours of an Intel OSX client for Oracle 11g in Q1 of 2008
