Just a note to inform the list of a python module for cassandra:
http://bitbucket.org/_ben_/cassdict/overview/
For better or worse Cassdict attempts to emulate a standard python
dictionary as an interface to the python thrift api.
It simplifies thing as far as it goes. Inevitably there's no getting
away from thrift api in the end. But I hope it can be handy in some
respects.
Additionally there are a couple of mixins to make the thrift objects
more manageable.
Thanks to Ian Eure @ Digg for his advices in progressing this module.
