The cx_Oracle.so is linked with Oracle 10g instant client because it depends
on libclntsh.dylib.10.1.

IMO, Oracle 10g client is in the $PATH before $ORACLE_HOME.
Could you swap the order as follows?

     $ export PATH=$ORACLE_HOME:$PATH

It uses relative path. Use -a option or --absolute-path option after
fix_oralib.rb as follows.

     $ ruby fix_oralib.rb -a

And then uninstall cx_oracle and reinstall it.

     $ pip uninstall cx_oracle
     $ pip install cx_oracle
