First, check out the Vaults of Parnassus for Oracle modules:

  http://www.vex.net/parnassus/apyllo.py?find=Oracle

I would look at cx_Oracle and DCOracle first. If you can use ODBC (not
usually the case with Oracle as standard, if I remember correctly),
then try mxODBC:

Then, take a look at this interesting article about the Python's
Database API:

  http://www.amk.ca/python/writing/DB-API.html

And look at the Python database topic guide index for more details:

  http://www.python.org/topics/database/

Have I got you started now? ;-)
