title: python import cx_Oracle error on cygwin
body: <p>I tried to install cx_Oracle from pypi source since there is no available port for it in cygwin. I did make some changes as suggested in <a href="http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.comp.python.db.cx-oracle/2492" rel="nofollow">http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.comp.python.db.cx-oracle/2492</a> and modified my setup.py. However, I still get the following error :-</p>
  
  <pre><code>$ python
