DataStax Python Driver for Apache Cassandra
===========================================
.. image:: https://travis-ci.org/datastax/python-driver.png?branch=master
:target: https://travis-ci.org/datastax/python-driver
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.
Feedback Requested
------------------
**Help us focus our efforts!** Provide your input on the `Platform and Runtime Survey <https://docs.google.com/a/datastax.com/forms/d/10wkbKLqmqs91gvhFW5u43y60pg_geZDolVNrxfO5_48/viewform>`_ (we kept it short).
Features
--------
* `Synchronous <http://datastax.github.io/python-driver/api/cassandra/cluster.html#cassandra.cluster.Session.execute>`_ and `Asynchronous <http://datastax.github.io/python-driver/api/cassandra/cluster.html#cassandra.cluster.Session.execute_async>`_ APIs
* `Simple, Prepared, and Batch statements <http://datastax.github.io/python-driver/api/cassandra/query.html#cassandra.query.Statement>`_
* Asynchronous IO, parallel execution, request pipelining
* `Connection pooling <http://datastax.github.io/python-driver/api/cassandra/cluster.html#cassandra.cluster.Cluster.get_core_connections_per_host>`_
* Automatic node discovery
* `Automatic reconnection <http://datastax.github.io/python-driver/api/cassandra/policies.html#reconnecting-to-dead-hosts>`_
* Configurable `load balancing <http://datastax.github.io/python-driver/api/cassandra/policies.html#load-balancing>`_ and `retry policies <http://datastax.github.io/python-driver/api/cassandra/policies.html#retrying-failed-operations>`_
* `Concurrent execution utilities <http://datastax.github.io/python-driver/api/cassandra/concurrent.html>`_
* `Object mapper <http://datastax.github.io/python-driver/object_mapper.html>`_
