Tyler Hobbs commented on CASSANDRA-6307: ---------------------------------------- I took a closer look at this and it should already behave as expected. Empty strings and nulls return '' and None, respectively. I added a (ugly) test to verify the behavior here: https://github.com/datastax/python-driver/commit/5cc4db6f4e3569f334271de56fbf325fdc878e04 > Switch cqlsh from cassandra-dbapi2 to python-driver > --------------------------------------------------- > > Key: CASSANDRA-6307 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-6307 > Project: Cassandra > Issue Type: Improvement > Reporter: Aleksey Yeschenko > Assignee: Mikhail Stepura > Priority: Minor > Fix For: 2.1 beta2 > > > python-driver is hitting 1.0 soon. cassandra-dbapi2 development has stalled. > It's time to switch cqlsh to native protocol and cassandra-dbapi2, especially > now that > 1.
