It will be fixed in 1.1.8. </p> http://www.datastax.com/support-forums/topic/cassandra-rpm-depends-on-an-old-python-version#post-7957 Tue, 11 Dec 2012 22:20:39 +0000 bgamble 7957@http://www.datastax.com/support-forums/ <p>Found it: the apache-cassandra11 rpm does indeed not depend on python2.6 -- but it depends on python26-cql (the driver) which does. The various ways the cassandra/DataStax Community packages had been trying to provide this driver had gotten pretty crufty, so I straightened them out, and incidentally solved this problem. The 1.1.7 packages, which are expected out this week, will finally work just fine with 2.7. </p> http://www.datastax.com/support-forums/topic/token-generator-missingremoved#post-7937 Tue, 11 Dec 2012 10:43:19 +0000 drohr 7937@http://www.datastax.com/support-forums/ <p>Does the current community version not include the token generator?

I'll look for a suitably late-model distribution to test the package on. </p> http://www.datastax.com/support-forums/topic/cassandra-rpm-depends-on-an-old-python-version#post-7173 Tue, 30 Oct 2012 00:26:10 +0000 therockdoctor 7173@http://www.datastax.com/support-forums/ <p>I have the same issue still with current Community release, 1.1.6. This is blocking my use of this release on Fedora 17. Is there a workaround? If not, when will this packaging issue be resolved (the post above said it would be fixed in 1.1.5)? </p> http://www.datastax.com/support-forums/topic/cassandra-rpm-depends-on-an-old-python-version#post-6342 Fri, 07 Sep 2012 19:40:01 +0000 pnelsonsr 6342@http://www.datastax.com/support-forums/ <p>Thanks for the info... I'll wait for 1.1.5! No compelling reason to upgrade right now! </p> http://www.datastax.com/support-forums/topic/cassandra-rpm-depends-on-an-old-python-version#post-6328 Fri, 07 Sep 2012 10:42:25 +0000 bgamble 6328@http://www.datastax.com/support-forums/ <p>I'm afraid the maintenance of the RPM packages has been a little haphazard in recent months. Due to packaging changes being introduced in various source control branches, the actual history went like this: 1.1.0 was packaged with no python dependency, 1.1.1 required python 2.6, 1.1.2 removed the python dependency entirely, and then 1.1.4 reintroduced it, again on 2.6, i.e. not for any planned reason but because that's what 1.1.1 specified.</p> <p>Normally I would consider this grounds for releasing a 1.1.4-2 package, but the release vote for 1.1.5 has already been started, so that should be out very soon, and this issue will be fixed in those packages. If you have compelling reasons to use 1.1.4 in the meantime, you should be able to satisfy the dependency by installing python 2.6 -- admittedly a cheesy workaround, but a short-term one at worst. </p> http://www.datastax.com/support-forums/topic/cassandra-rpm-depends-on-an-old-python-version#post-6310 Thu, 06 Sep 2012 18:07:05 +0000 pnelsonsr 6310@http://www.datastax.com/support-forums/ <p>Running Cassandra on Fedora 17 Linux distro and tried to update it (using yum) from apache-cassandra11-1.1.2-1 to apache-cassandra11-1.1.4-1 but I get a dependency error that says it needs Python 2.6 where I have python 2.7.3 installed. This version of Python has been working fine with the older version of cassandra why is the dependency specific to an older version of Python? </p>
