Title: Regression in python2.7 SRU breaks python-cassandra Status in python2.7 package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: "SRU: backport python 2.7.12 to 16.04 LTS" (bug 1591895) has caused a regression in (at least) python-cassandra. Any attempt to connect to a cluster fails due to: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/cassandra/cluster.py", line 1894, in _reconnect_internal return self._try_connect(host) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/cassandra/cluster.py", line 1921, in _try_connect self_weakref = weakref.ref(self, callback=partial(_clear_watcher, weakref.proxy(connection))) TypeError: ref() does not take keyword arguments It would appear that Python 2.7.12 has made the permitted calling conventions for weakref.ref() stricter. See https://github.com/datastax/python-driver/pull/585 for upstream discussion of the issue.
