unable to install cx_Oracle on OL 7.7

SPA09Aug 26 2019 — edited Aug 27 2019

HI ,

I setup an OL 7.7 with Oracle RDBMS 18c.

DB is up and running.

I install python 3.6.8 and then Instantclient 18.5 base per yum.

Okay that works fine

python --version

Python 3.6.8

Now I would like to install the cx_Oracle Packages from the Docusite

https://yum.oracle.com/oracle-linux-python.html#InstantClientEnv

I try all possibilties:

yum -y install python-cx_Oracle

not possible

yum -y install rh-python36-python-cx_Oracle

not possible

python -m pip install cx_Oracle

python -m pip install cx_Oracle

Traceback (most recent call last):

  File "/usr/lib64/python3.6/runpy.py", line 183, in _run_module_as_main

    mod_name, mod_spec, code = _get_module_details(mod_name, _Error)

  File "/usr/lib64/python3.6/runpy.py", line 142, in _get_module_details

    return _get_module_details(pkg_main_name, error)

    __import__(pkg_name)

    from xml.parsers.expat import ParserCreate

  File "/usr/lib64/python3.6/xml/parsers/expat.py", line 4, in <module>

    from pyexpat import *

ImportError: /usr/lib64/python3.6/lib-dynload/pyexpat.cpython-36m-x86_64-linux-gnu.so: undefined symbol: XML_SetHashSalt

So I am at the end.

Who can help how to go on??

What the correct installation and Setup?

regards
