The latest version of Cython (0.25) released today broke the cassandra-driver.
A workaround for this problem is to set Cython == 0.24.1 before installing the cassandra driver.
(env) $ pip install Cython==0.24.1 (env) $ pip install cassandra-driver
You may need to first remove the existing cassandra-driver package from the site packages:
rm -r $WHERE_PYTHON_IS_INSTALLED/lib/python2.7/site-packages/cassandra*
