Python cx_Oracle - import not a valid win32 app or ImportError: No module named cx_Oracle Found

The Python installed is 64 bit 3.2.3 version. The Oracle XE database is 10g, 32 bit on 64 bit Windows server 2008.

When trying to install Python 64 bit cx_Oracle module , it reports "import not a valid win32 app or ImportError".

I tried to install cx_Oracle 32 bit module, but the after installation, when importing the cx_Oracle, it reports "No module named cx_Oracle Found". Actually, I found the installation does not finish successfully coz i can't find cx_Oracle module under the 'site-package' dir of the python.

Then I uninstalled the 64 bit Python and install 32 bit 3.2.3 Python, and then install 32 bit cx_Oracle Python module. Everything work good now.

So in one word, please keep the Orace DB, Python, cx_Oracle module the same architecture (all 32 bit or all 64 bit).
