I'm trying to write a python script using cx_oracle module for perform oracle database connection. But during the execution, I found it needs oracle instant client to establish a connection. Currently, I'm developing the script in ubuntu but there is a chance to run the same in windows. So I'm confused about the implementation. Could someone please suggest the best way to connect oracle database irrespective the platform

You will always need an OS-specific library or client of some kind. Either the Oracle Instant Client or a Java JDK/JDBC library or both. If you want OS-independence then you would need to interact with the DB through REST calls or something like that instead of making a persistent connection. Otherwise you have to interact with the OS networking stack at some point, which requires OS-specific libraries.
