             Summary: Kudu Python package needs refresh from 1.2.0
                 Key: KUDU-2166
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KUDU-2166
             Project: Kudu
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: client
    Affects Versions: 1.4.0
            Reporter: Mladen Kovacevic


PyPI kudu-python 1.2.0 package needs  a refresh.

The encodings are out of date with that specific client package (namely bitshuffle and dict are missing). Most likely we're missing at least this commit for "KUDU-1691 - [python] Updated Column Encoding Types"

The instructions also say that Cython is only required when installing from source.

When I ran with pip3, I would get:

```sh
$ sudo /usr/local/bin/pip3 install kudu-python
Collecting kudu-python
  Using cached kudu-python-1.2.0.tar.gz
    Complete output from command python setup.py egg_info:
    Traceback (most recent call last):
      File "<string>", line 1, in <module>
      File "/tmp/pip-build-d6gtx9d6/kudu-python/setup.py", line 21, in <module>
        from Cython.Distutils import build_ext
    ImportError: No module named 'Cython'
```

So then it would seem even running install via pip requires Cython..

Finally, Python 3.6 is out now, and perhaps this package should be enabled to work with 3.6 as well (I think current max is 3.5)
