---------------------------------------------
I tend to doubt there's anything we can do about this if the problem is at a
lower level. What do you think [~iamaleksey]?
> cqlsh drops characters from script files with wrong version of the Python
> libedit (readline) library

> Key: CASSANDRA-5369
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-5369
> Project: Cassandra
> Issue Type: Bug
> Affects Versions: 2.1
> Environment: MAC OSX Python 2.7.3. readline (unknown version)
> Reporter: Steven Lowenthal
>
> If an python installation has the wrong version of readline, cqlsh does not
> allow non-ascii characters such as in the word "café". When reading a
> script, cqlsh simply drops those characters out of the script. In my case,
> the script contained insert statements, and C* thereby inserted bad data.
> cqlsh needs to throw if there is a version of readline that exhibits this
> behavior. This behavior was exhibited in my version of OSX 10.8
> It was remedied by upgrading readline:
> Steves-MacBook-Pro:bin stevelowenthal$ sudo easy_install readline
> Password:
> Searching for readline
> Reading http://pypi.python.org/simple/readline/
> Reading http://github.com/ludwigschwardt/python-readline
> Reading http://www.python.org/
> Best match: readline 6.2.4.1
