Like we have mongoengine and pymongo but I can understand that pymongo is a wrapper for python and mongoengine is an ORM.
So in case of cassandra, what is the difference between these two libraries?
what is the meaning of "Python Driver". are python driver and wrapper/mapper are different?
https://github.com/datastax/python-driver
https://github.com/cqlengine/cqlengine
If both are wrapper for python then which one should I use.
and now what is pycassa https://github.com/pycassa/pycassa/? is it again same thing ?
pardon me if these are silly or ridiculous question but I really got confused as both Python and cassandra is new to me.
python-driver is the preferred python driver for cassandra as it supports CQL3 and the cassandra native protocol.
pycassa is a thrift based python driver that doesn't support CQL. This is effectively deprecated by python-driver and is no longer being actively developed.
cqlengine is an object mapper for python that uses python-driver. This is used for mapping cassandra data to python objects.
