Please be clear. Are you looking for an ODBC driver that will
work with Oracle 9?

Or are you looking for a Python DBAPI driver for Oracle 9?

Those are two different things.

You can do it directly or via ODBC. For an old version of Oracle it
might be easier to find an ODBC driver - that should have come from
Oracle with the database. The current Python ODBC driver should then
work with the Oracle ODBC driver.

Finding a native Python DB driver for Oracle 9 might be harder
although I'd expect one to still be available somewhere.

A Google search threw this up as the first link:

https://wiki.python.org/moin/Oracle

And it claims to work with Oracle versions 8 to 11i.
