Hi, cqlsh stopped working for me recently, I'm unsure how / why it broke and I couldn't find anything from the mail archives (or google) that gave me an indication of how to fix the problem.
Here's the output I see when I have cassandra running locally (default config except using Random Partitioner) and try run cqlsh (running with --debug and with the local IP makes no difference) oisin@/usr/local/Cellar/cassandra/1.2.9/bin: ./cqlsh Can't locate transport factory function cqlshlib.tfactory.regular_transport_factory I Installed cassandra 1.2.9 and Python 2.7.2 via brew and used pip to install cql. I can connect via the cassandra-cli to create and view keyspaces etc without any issues. Any help greatly appreciated, thanks.
