We use the python-driver and have contributed some to its development. I have been careful to not push too fast on features until we need them. For example, we have just started using prepared statements - working well BTW.
Next we will employ futures and start to exploit the async nature of new interface to C*. We are very familiar with libev in both C and python, and are happy to dig into the code to add features and fix bugs as needed, so the rewards of bypassing the old and focusing on the new seem worth the risks to us. ml On Tue, Nov 26, 2013 at 1:16 PM, Jonathan Haddad <j...@jonhaddad.com> wrote: > So, for cqlengine (https://github.com/cqlengine/cqlengine), we're > currently using the thrift api to execute CQL until the native driver is > out of beta.
