Datastax Python cassandra driver build fails on Ubuntu

Question

I was trying to install Datastax Python Cassandra driver on Ubuntu 14.04.5. LTS. Installation succeeds but subsequent attempt to use it fails with the error:

Welc         


        

Answer 1

We just released a patch version 3.7.1 to fix that issue caused by the new version of Cython. Upgrade your cassandra-driver:

    pip install --upgrade cassandra-driver
