This can safely be ignored.

There are two things to be checked:

1. Can your application import and use mxDateTime (without
    cx_Oracle) ?

    I expect this to be the case.

2. Where does cx_Oracle look for the mxDateTime package ?
    Does it successfully import the package ?

    To track this one down you have to set the PYTHONVERBOSE
    environment variable to 2 and then look at the log output.
