Description

After installing all packages from Cloudera repository,

 

ii kudu 1.6.0+cdh5.14.2+0-1.cdh5.14.2.p0.11~jessie-cdh5.14.2 amd64 Columnar storage engine for Hadoop
ii kudu-master 1.6.0+cdh5.14.2+0-1.cdh5.14.2.p0.11~jessie-cdh5.14.2 amd64 Kudu Master service
ii kudu-tserver 1.6.0+cdh5.14.2+0-1.cdh5.14.2.p0.11~jessie-cdh5.14.2 amd64 Kudu Tablet Server service

ii libkuduclient0 1.6.0+cdh5.14.2+0-1.cdh5.14.2.p0.11~jessie-cdh5.14.2 amd64 Kudu client library

 

and creating a virtualenv from scratch and installing kudu-python using pip:

 

pip install cython

pip install kudu-python

 

The package fails when being imported:

In [1]: import kudu
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

This happens both with Python 2.7.13 and 3.6.4, on Debian Stretch.
