I'm guessing that you'll need to install the .deb file from this site. 
Someone can correct me if I'm wrong.

There's installation instructions for Debian(Which I believe Ubuntu is 
derived from) here:

After the client is installed, then hopefully you can build and 
install the cx_oracle module. 

Good luck. If you get stuck maybe someone else can pipe in. Unless 
it's something simple, I usually have trouble if a package is unable 
to install due to some missing library or what not.
