that one is weird.  maybe you can do something like this:

edit one or more of the django files, and put in

conn=cx_Oracle.connect(...)

calls.

hopefully, the one at the very top of the first django file will be successful.
eventually you will hit one that fails.  then you can move the connect lines
around to narrow down where the bad thing is happening.
