1. Download OracleXE:

$ echo $ORACLE_HOME=20
c:/programs/oraclexe/app/oracle/product/10.2.0/server


2. Install cygwin version of gcc and python:

$ gcc --version
gcc (GCC) 3.4.4 (cygming special) (gdc 0.12, using dmd 0.125)

$ python
Python 2.4.3 (#1, May 18 2006, 07:40:45)=20
[GCC 3.3.3 (cygwin special)] on cygwin
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>>=20


3. Download cx_Oracle-4.2 and build/install it:

$  python setup.py build
$  python setup.py install

Done!=20

It works out of the box for me.
