工作需要，在阿里云的服务器（CentOS 6）上装Cassandra.
装Cassandra本身倒是没什么大问题，问题出在后来用python。
首先是python 2.6好像不支持，于是升级到python2.7。
参考：
之后好不容易弄好了环境，装好了pip，结果pip install cqlsh上就卡死了。
查了一圈谷歌，

都有启发。
首先看卡死的地方：
$ pip install cqlsh

知道是cassandra-driver卡死，从阿里云直接下过来解压看，发现果然是这货去官方源了。
ez_setup.py Line 32
DEFAULT_URL = https://pypi.python.org/packages/source/s/setuptools/"
编辑此处, 改成阿里云的源：
DEFAULT_URL = "https://mirrors.aliyuncs.com/pypi/packages/source/s/setuptools/"
保存。
之后本地运行python setup.py install 发现还是不行：
$ python setup.py install
Unable to find pgen, not compiling formal grammar.
warning: no files found matching '*.pyx' under directory 'Cython/Debugger/Tests'
warning: no files found matching '*.pxd' under directory 'Cython/Debugger/Tests'
warning: no files found matching '*.h' under directory 'Cython/Debugger/Tests'
warning: no files found matching '*.pxd' under directory 'Cython/Utility'
看样子是Cython没装，于是先装Cython。
$ pip install Cython

再python setup.py install， 这回又有提示：
$ python setup.py install

pkg_resources.VersionConflict: (Cython 0.25.2 (/usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages), Requirement.parse('Cython>=0.20,<0.25'))
晕死，这个版本还有范围。
找了好久，发现在这个地方：setup.py Line 391:
if pre_build_check():
kw['setup_requires'] = ['Cython>=0.20,<0.25']
else:
sys.stderr.write("Bypassing Cython setup requirement\n")
直接改成0.26 试试。
之后安装就成功了。
