Fernando:

Maybe your news server hadn't shown you the original post when you sent this
reply ... there was an underscore between "cx" and "Oracle", giving the
correct module name.

Almost certainly the cron job somehow needs to establish the correct
sys.path to find the cx_Oracle module. Whether you do this by manipulating
the shell environment (either PYTHONPATH or LD_LIBRARY_PATH) or directly
modifying sys.path in Python is a matter of taste and local administration.

 Steve
