Anthony,

At least some of the cx_Oracle 5.0.3 windows installers that I 
downloaded from sourceforge are missing the cx_Oracle.pyd file. I tried 
cx_Oracle-5.0.3-10g.win32-py2.6.msi and 
cx_Oracle-5.0.3-11g.win32-py2.6.msi. The .MSI files are 32KB smaller 
than the 5.0.2 versions. Also, 7-Zip shows that this file is missing 
from the archives.

TIA,

Doug
