["Saulius Menkevicius (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-3010?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13096003#comment-13096003 ] 

Saulius Menkevicius commented on CASSANDRA-3010:
------------------------------------------------

Another argument for non-python cqlsh is that cqlsh given from datastax wouldn't even start on windows due to the "readline" pypi package not being available for windows.


D:\python-ve\Scripts>cqlsh.bat
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "cqlsh", line 24, in <module>
    import readline
ImportError: No module named readline

D:\python-ve\Scripts>pip install readline
Downloading/unpacking readline
  Downloading readline-6.2.1.tar.gz (2.3Mb): 2.3Mb downloaded
  Running setup.py egg_info for package readline
    error: this module is not meant to work on Windows
    Complete output from command python setup.py egg_info:
    error: this module is not meant to work on Windows

----------------------------------------
Command python setup.py egg_info failed with error code 1

> We need a "real" CQL shell that:
> - does not require installing additional environments
> - includes "show keyspaces" and other introspection tools
> - does not break existing cli scripts
> I.e., it needs to be java, but it should be a new tool instead of replacing the existing cli.
