Stefania commented on CASSANDRA-10853:
--------------------------------------
I've opened CASSANDRA-11630 to make the dependency on Cython optional, and not
necessary when the {{--no-compile}} flag is passed to _setup.py_.
The intention in CASSANDRA-11053 was to keep the package arch independent and
let people build the Cython extensions manually for performance reasons (see
this
[blog|http://www.datastax.com/dev/blog/six-parameters-affecting-cqlsh-copy-from-performance]).
The performance improvement of compiling _copyutil.py_ is minimal (5%), what
really helps is compiling the driver, which we don't do at the moment. However,
this may well change in future if we optimize _copyutil.py__ further. So let me
know what you prefer, to tackle the problem now and keep the extensions in the
package, or make them optional.

> I'm working on a deb job in jenkins, and I had forgotten to open a bug for

> this package is currently in transition to be removed.

> dh_pysupport: This program is deprecated, you should use dh_python2 instead.
