Greetings all! I'm proposing the test build of Cassandra Python Driver 3.30.1 for release.
Git commit sha1 for this release: ec21afc66790b0ca2b202e35e85b468e871d507c Git: https://github.com/apache/cassandra-python-driver/releases/tag/3.30.1 Source release: https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/dev/cassandra/cassandra-python-driver/3.30.1 Changelog: https://github.com/apache/cassandra-python-driver/blob/trunk/CHANGELOG.rst#3301 Wheels for this release can be found in SVN [1]. As a convenience for testing I've also deployed this release as 3.30.1rc1 [2] on testpypi [3] . You can install this package from testpypi via the following sequence of commands: uv pip install deprecated # necessary because transitive dependencies aren't available on testpypi uv pip install --index-url https://test.pypi.org/simple/ cassandra-driver==3.30.1rc1 3.30.1rc1 follows Python naming conventions [4] for pre-releases. The content of 3.30.1rc1 is identical to 3.30.1 with the exception of an additional commit which changes the version. This can be confirmed by viewing the corresponding tag [5]. As I mentioned when we were voting on the last Python driver release we're still trying to sort out a process for managing rc builds (i.e. 3.30.1rc1) and release builds (i.e. 3.30.1). For this release we're sending rc builds (including wheels) to testpypi and storing release builds (again including wheels) in SVN. When a vote passes we'll deploy the release builds and wheels to PyPI. While this does give us a clean split between the two it isn't a perfect system; we'll still have to adjust the tag if we need another vote. We'll likely iterate on this process in future releases but it is still an improvement over what we had with 3.30.0. The vote will be open for 72 hours (longer if needed) until ~7am GMT on 28 June 2026. Everyone who has tested the build is invited to vote. Votes by PMC members are considered binding. A vote passes if there are at least three binding +1s and no -1's.
