i'm able to install cassandra-driver successfully using following command,

command:

pip install cassandra-driver --install-option="--no-cython"

Following is the complete installation log(fyi):

Answer 2

I installed cqlsh client on remote using following command,

sudo apt-get install build-essential python-dev python-pip libev4 libev-dev
sudo apt-get install cython3
sudo pip install cassandra-driver
sudo pip install cassandra-driver --install-option="--no-cython"
sudo pip install cqlsh; (Or cqlsh==5.0.3)
export CQLSH_NO_BUNDLED=TRUE
cqlsh 192.168.0.330  --cqlversion="3.4.2"

Answer 3

cassandra-driver apparently needs cython. So pip install cython would fix this.

Laverne

I was able to install cython successfully but I'm getting same error while installing cassandra-driver. – Tarbes

Answer 4

None of the above worked for me as I was using virtualenv. i.e.

yum install -y python-virtualenv
virtualenv-2.7 /opt/test

What worked for me was as follows:

/opt/test/bin/pip install --upgrade pip
/opt/test/bin/pip install typing cython
/opt/test/bin/pip install cassandra-driver
