Accepted answer to this question How to install/use cx_Oracle in PyPy says that in order to install cx_Oracle on pypy I need to compile it with --withmod-oracle parameter. If I do so I'm getting cx_Oracle v. 5.0.0:
Python 2.7.3 (5acfe049a5b0cd0de158f62553a98f5ef364fd29, Jul 02 2013, 20:33:21)
[PyPy 2.0.2 with GCC 4.6.3] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
And now for something completely different: ``the way to avoid a workaround is
to introduce a stronger workaround somewhere else''
>>>> import cx_Oracle
>>>> cx_Oracle.version
'5.0.0'
Unfortunately django won't run with it as there is no NCLOB:
./manage.py shell
File "/home/user/.virtualenvs/pypy_chembl_migration/site-packages/django/db/backends/oracle/introspection.py", line 13, in DatabaseIntrospection
cx_Oracle.NCLOB: 'TextField',
AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'NCLOB'
What I need is cx_Oracle, version 5.1.2. How can I get it?
Pypy wiki (https://bitbucket.org/pypy/compatibility/wiki/cx_oracle) says cx_Oracle works with it. But I guess I draw wrong conclusion from that sentence:
pip install cx_Oracle -U
Downloading/unpacking cx-Oracle
Running setup.py egg_info for package cx-Oracle
...
cc -O2 -fPIC -Wimplicit -I/usr/include/oracle/11.2/client64 -I/home/user/.virtualenvs/pypy_chembl_migration/include -c cx_Oracle.c -o build/temp.linux-x86_64-2.7-11g/cx_Oracle.o -DBUILD_VERSION=5.1.2
