Seems pretty clear to me: cx_oracle uses thread-local storage (not
directly, but through libcl.2), and the system does not support
loading such libraries dynamically. That gives you three options

1. Do not use thread-local storage. In this specific case:
    Get rid of libcl.2 for cx_oracle.

2. Do not load the Python module dynamically, but link it into the
    interpreter statically.

3. Do not use an operating system with such limitations. Use Linux
    instead :-)
