Comment:
failed nosetests without the cql driver being installed first

  Setting up and running system tests:
  
  === Running the functional tests for Thrift RPC ===
+  1. Install CQL: `svn checkout https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/cassandra/drivers; cd drivers/py; python setup.py build; sudo python setup.py install`.
   1. Install the [[http://somethingaboutorange.com/mrl/projects/nose/0.11.1/|nose]] test runner (`aptitude install python-nose`, `easy_install nose`, etc).
   1. Install the Thrift compiler (see InstallThrift) and Python libraries (`cd thrift/lib/py && python setup.py install`).
   1. Generate Cassandra's Python code using `ant gen-thrift-py`.
+  1. Build the source `ant clean build`.
   1. Run `nosetests test/system/` from the top-level source directory.
  
  If you need to modify the system tests, you probably only need to care about test/system/test_thrift_server.py.  (test/system/__init__.py takes care of spawning new cassandra instances for each test and cleaning up afterwards so they are isolated.)
