cassandra.cqlengine.CQLEngineException: Connection name '<object object at 0x7eff59dcc8e0>' doesn't exist in the registry.

[n1207n]

Hi! I'm experiencing an issue where django-cassandra-engine stops working due to new Cython version not being compatible with cassandra-driver python package. I looked around the web a bit, and it suggests to me that Cython version needs to be 0.24.1, as Cython 0.25 breaks the cassandra-driver.

Thankfully, Datastax team released a new version of cassandra-driver: 3.7.1, and Cython issue is gone but now I'm having a new issue.

All I can speculate from your code and cassandra-driver codebase is that your connection.get_session() no longer works as cassandra-driver's _connections dictionary is empty at the point of failure.

I spent the whole day to burn and crash therefore, any solution or advice would be really appreciated ;)

The below is the traceback from my Docker environment.

Thanks!!!

Thanks for submitting the issue. I'll try to upgrade to the latest cassandra-driver soon.

Also having this problem; FYI it is discussed here: https://datastax-oss.atlassian.net/browse/PYTHON-656 3.7.1 has the workaround.

[n1207n]

Notice that I have said that my environment has cassandra-driver==3.7.1.

Cython issue is gone, but now django-cassandra-engine is not compatible with new cassandra-driver.

[n1207n]

It's weird... Now django-cassandra-engine works again when I changed back to old pip dependencies.

It seems somehow my docker container is now using the last working Cython version. But please keep looking into this issue. cassandra-driver==3.7.1 may still conflict with django-cassandra-engine. I just wanted to make sure if this can be an issue for other people. That's all ;)

[n1207n]

Also based on what I've seen from my pip freeze command, Cython is not getting installed when installing cassandra-driver. I can only speculate that cassandra-driver is compiled without Cython extension or is compiled with Cython temporarily and gone.

If anyone else has some insights or similar errors, feel free to discuss :D

[r4fek]

Could you guys try now with current master?

[n1207n]

Hi @r4fek, I'm reloading the pip requirement with your github url instead of PyPi now. I'll get back to you once it's done.

[n1207n]

@r4fek I'm glad to confirm your fix is working!!!! Thanks for your attention and effort!

[r4fek]

I'm glad to hear that. I'll release corrected version soon.

[bicepjai]
