----------------------------------------------------------------

You are correct, none of the versions with this fix have been released yet. The easiest workaround is, as you said, to downgrade Python. I'm pretty sure 2.7.11 should also be fine, since I was only able to reproduce this problem with 2.7.12.

Installing version 3.5.0 or later of the Cassandra python driver is also an option, but there were some other minor issues that this patch fixed. Therefore, it is recommended to downgrade Python, if at all possible. If this is not possible, the driver can be installed by following these [instructions|http://datastax.github.io/python-driver/installation.html]. Further, cqlsh will only override its internal driver with a version installed elsewhere by setting the environment variable {{CQLSH_NO_BUNDLED}} to {{TRUE}}.

> Issue:
> when running cqlsh, it returns the following error:
> cqlsh -u dbarpt_usr01
> Password: *****
> Connection error: ('Unable to connect to any servers', {'odbasandbox1': TypeError('ref() does not take keyword arguments',)})

> 2.0.9
> Java based clients can connect to Cassandra with no issue. Just CQLSH and Python clients cannot.
> nodetool status also works.
> Thank you for your help.
