.. image:: https://travis-ci.org/datastax/python-driver.png?branch=master
:target: https://travis-ci.org/datastax/python-driver
A Python client driver for Apache Cassandra. This driver works exclusively
with the Cassandra Query Language v3 (CQL3) and Cassandra's native
protocol. Cassandra versions 1.2 through 2.1 are supported.
A modern, `feature-rich <https://github.com/datastax/python-driver#features>`_ and highly-tunable Python client library for Apache Cassandra (1.2+) and DataStax Enterprise (3.1+) using exclusively Cassandra's binary protocol and Cassandra Query Language v3.
The driver supports Python 2.6, 2.7, 3.3, and 3.4*.
