Hmm, I haven't heard that the 64-bit version of Oracle is unstable. We
use it here at work and it seems to work just fine. If you have links
that suggest otherwise I'd be happy to read them -- rather than
discover them first hand. :-)

Sure. You installed a 64-bit client and you are using that. You could
build from source using that as well. Just make sure you also have the
instant client development package installed as well.

The main point is that you must use a 32-bit Python, 32-bit Oracle
client and 32-bit cx_Oracle or a 64-bit Python, 64-bit Oracle client
and 64-bit cx_Oracle. You can't mix and match.
