Can I use odbc python library to make a connection with an oracle database?
Thanks in advance,

Yes, if you have the correct drivers installed.

What drivers should I have? Thirdparty? Do you know a good one?
Thanks,

I have the Oracle Instant Client (

http://www.oracle.com/technology/tech/oci/instantclient/instantclient.html)

installed and use the cx_Oracle (

http://www.computronix.com/utilities.shtml)

module from Zope

Does that give you ODBC access? I use it and I thought it only gave you native oracle, but I don't ever use ODBC, so I don't really know.

And, just to be precise, I don't think cx_oracle is from Zope, computronix is a different entity. Zope's contribution is DCOracle2.
