Description

OS: Debian GNU/Linux stretch/sid
Kernel: 4.5.0-2-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 4.5.4-1 (2016-05-16) x86_64 GNU/Linux
Python version: 2.7.11+ (default, May 9 2016, 15:54:33)
[GCC 5.3.1 20160429]

cqlsh --version: cqlsh 5.0.1
cassandra -v: 3.5 (also occurs with 3.0.6)

Issue:
when running cqlsh, it returns the following error:

cqlsh -u dbarpt_usr01
Password: *****

Connection error: ('Unable to connect to any servers',

{'odbasandbox1': TypeError('ref() does not take keyword arguments',)}

)

I cleared PYTHONPATH:

python -c "import json; print dir(json); print json._version_"
['JSONDecoder', 'JSONEncoder', '__all__', '__author__', '__builtins__', '__doc__', '__file__', '__name__', '__package__', '__path__', '__version__', '_default_decoder', '_default_encoder', 'decoder', 'dump', 'dumps', 'encoder', 'load', 'loads', 'scanner']
2.0.9

Java based clients can connect to Cassandra with no issue. Just CQLSH and Python clients cannot.

nodetool status also works.

Thank you for your help.
