Instant Client is set of OCI libraries that are used to communicate to 
Oracle database.

And they are required, it's also required to have Instant Client SDK 
files for compilation, and libaio1 installed from system packages.

cx_Oracle itself merely contains just bindings to communicate from 
Python to Oracle through OCI libraries (Instant Client) and do some 
conversions for certain datatypes.
