I'll add, the process for packaging CQLSH similar if not identical to how the Python driver will be packaged by Apache for pypl.org once the driver donation in CEP-8 is completed. The python driver already h

I'm supportive of this CEP. And thanks for all the maintenance on this over the years! Knowing nothing about the pypi release/publish process, I'm curious how you would stage and then publish the signed convenience package. Background: what we publish post-release-vote needs to be signed and ide

Re: [Discuss] ​​CEP-35: Add PIP support for CQLSH

Distribution is pretty straightforward, the process I follow after 'build' is complete: ## Release Cassandra CQLSH You must have the maintainer privilege of `https://pypi.org/project/cqlsh/` 1. verify package locally with pip pip install -e . 2. Test upload on testpypi twine upload --re

Re: [Discuss] ​​CEP-35: Add PIP support for CQLSH

Dinesh raises some good points. If we do adopt this, there will be non-zero overhead of the release process. This is fine but we need volunteers to run this process. My understanding is that they need to be ideally PMC or at least Committers on the project to go through all the steps to successful

Re: [Discuss] ​​CEP-35: Add PIP support for CQLSH

I think it would be good for the project to have an official PyPI distribution, and the signal from users (40K downloads per month) is a clear indication that this is useful. Timely releases would help us get future improvements to cqlsh out faster, and moving this to an official distribution wo

Re: [Discuss] ​​CEP-35: Add PIP support for CQLSH

HI Dinesh, You are correct that the scope of this CEP is practical, narrow and limited to having an official distribution of CQLSH on the official Python package repository. Cassandra end-users, who use the CQLSH command line, would benefit in several direct ways: - A timely distribution of ne

Re: [Discuss] ​​CEP-35: Add PIP support for CQLSH

Brad, Thanks for starting this discussion. My understanding is that we're simply adding pip support for cqlsh and Apache Cassandra project will officially publish a cqlsh pip package. This is a good goal but other than having an official pip package, what is it that we're gaining? Please don't int
