Did you try running "import cx_Oracle" from the command line? Usually
you get a window showing the exact problem.
A cause could be that you installed a cx_Oracle compiled for Oracle
9i. Then the error is something like "could not find entry point xxx",
where xxx is a 9i-only feature.

sql*plus does not use the OCI.dll library. It directly links to lower
level files (such as oraclient9.dll)
