pycassa is a client library for Apache Cassandra.

It is a Python client library having following features:

  • Auto-failover for normal or thread-local connections
  • Batch interface
  • Connection pooling
  • Method to map an existing class to a Cassandra column family

    • Like Apache Cassandra, pycassa is open-source.

    Code example

    The following code adds the user name with the corresponding password to the column families (pycassa.ColumnFamily) USER and USERNAME:

    username = 'jericevans' password = '**********' useruuid = str(uuid()) columns = {'id': useruuid, 'username': username, 'password': password} USER.insert(useruuid, columns) USERNAME.insert(username, {'id': useruuid})
