Caution
You're viewing documentation for a previous version of ScyllaDB Open Source. Switch to the latest stable version.
The ScyllaDB Python driver is shard aware and contains extensions for a tokenAwareHostPolicy.
Using this policy, the driver can select a connection to a particular shard based on the shard’s token.
As a result, latency is significantly reduced because there is no need to pass data between the shards.
Read the documentation to get started or visit the Github project ScyllaDB Python driver.
As the ScyllaDB Python Driver is a drop-in replacement for DataStax Python Driver, no code changes are needed to use the driver. Use the ScyllaDB Python driver for better compatibility and support for ScyllaDB with Python-based applications.
