title: Cassandra and Django
body: <p>I'd like to use Cassandra from within django, and after some research I've noticed that there are some libraries that enable you to access cassandra from a higher level than <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pycassa" rel="nofollow noreferrer">pycassa</a> does: For django there's <a href="https://github.com/dziegler/alexandra" rel="nofollow noreferrer">alexandra</a> &amp; <a href="https://github.com/vaterlaus/django_cassandra_backend" rel="nofollow noreferrer">django-cassandra-backed</a>, for plain python you'll find <a href="https://github.com/enki/tragedy/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">tragedy</a> &amp; <a href="https://github.com/digg/lazyboy" rel="nofollow noreferrer">lazyboy</a>...</p>
  
  <p>I know there's a similar question <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/2369793/how-to-use-cassandra-in-django-framework">here</a>, but I'm specifially looking if anybody can provide any real world experiences about using on of the above (or maybe another) libraries... As all of them are supposed to do something similar and not all look totally up to date this would be very helpful!</p>
