#### Command-line client for running CQL commands on a Cassandra cluster

`cqlsh` is a Python-based command-line client for running CQL commands on a Cassandra cluster.

Normally it's packaged as part of the full Apache Cassandra™ installation. This repo repackages it into a standalone Python package for lighter-weight installs.
