Tutor is probably not going to be the best place to ask this database
question.  You should probably ask on cx-oracle-users:

     https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/cx-oracle-users


By the way, please use copy-and-paste when showing the inputs and
outputs of what you're doing.  You should try to show verbatim output
for any bug report or request for technical help.  If you don't, you
can easily introduce mistakes that make it hard to diagnose what's
going on.

I think that you've paraphrased the output from some of the error
messages, and it's making it really hard to tell what's going on.  The
message you're reporting looks really suspicious:

    Import : No module named cx_oracle

because there are too many spaces between the colon and the message,
and it should be using the term "ImportError", not just "Import".  If
that's truly what you're getting, then something very strange is going
on.
