# Python cx_Oracle
**cx_Oracle was obsoleted by
[python-oracledb](https://oracle.github.io/python-oracledb/) in 2022.**
Python-oracledb uses the same Python DB API as cx_Oracle, and has many new
features.
Install with:
```
python -m pip install oracledb
```
Usage is like:
```
import getpass
import oracledb
un = 'scott'
cs = 'localhost/orclpdb1'
pw = getpass.getpass(f'Enter password for {un}@{cs}: ')
with oracledb.connect(user=un, password=pw, dsn=cs) as connection:
with connection.cursor() as cursor:
sql = 'select systimestamp from dual'
for r in cursor.execute(sql):
print(r)
```
The source code for python-oracledb is at
