How to run sqlplus query in python 3.4

I' m new to python and I am trying to figure out how I can connect to remote oracle DB and run a select query using a python script. Here is what i am trying to achieve:

1) Connect to oracle db and run select query
2) Write the result to the file.

This is the regular connection string I use:

sqlplus temapp/'password'@temappdb
and then I use a select query, lets say select * from employees where employ_id=12;

Not quite sure how to implement this in python 3.4, in 2.7 MySQLdb module/library is being used.

    **Here is my blueprint:** 
    #!/bin/python

    import sqlite3
    import sys
    import os

config = {
  'user': 'user',
  'password': '*****',
  'host': '127.0.0.1',
  'database': 'test',
  'raise_on_warnings': True,
}
    conn = sqlite3.connect('config') # not sure how to pass user and password
    c = conn.cursor()
    c.execute('select * from employees where employ_id=12')

2) And I have no idea how to write it in the file, my first guess was to manipulate with stdin and stdout by I believe there is a more efficient way to do it.

orig_stdout = sys.stdout
out = open("/output.txt", 'w')
sys.stdout = out

c.execute('select * from employees where employ_id=12')
sys.stdout = orig_stdout
out.close()

Can someone please advise on the better solution ?
