Intenta usar pandas.io.sql.read_sql_query
. Usé la versión 0.20.1 de pandas, la usé y funcionó:
import pandas as pd
import pandas.io.sql as psql
import cx_Oracle as odb
conn = odb.connect(_user +'/'+ _pass +'@'+ _dbenv)
sqlStr = """SELECT * FROM customers
WHERE id BETWEEN :v1 AND :v2
"""
pars = {"v1":1234, "v2":5678}
df = psql.frame_query(sqlStr, conn, params=pars)
