Yeah, you're looking for version 6.0.0b4:

• https://github.com/jeffwidman/cqlsh#600b4-mar-9-2021 /
• https://pypi.org/project/cqlsh/6.0.0b4/
  See the notes in the changelog--it is not guaranteed full backwards compatibility with cassandra 3.x... but it is the first cqlsh that supported Python 3.

Version 5.0.5 ships cqlsh version 5.0.1 which doesn't support Python 3.

I will release 6.0.0 once upstream cassandra ships 4.0 as GA... right now they are still shipping betas. I considered shipping 6.0.0 anyway, but I'd rather wait for GA because then PyPI version 6.0.0 will match the cqlsh version: apache/cassandra@0212320

Unfortunately the metadata on the old versions 5.0.4 and earlier doesn't explicitly exclude python 3, so they still get pulled down by pip3.

I'd like to yank the old releases, at least until Cassandra goes GA (and then can unyank them so they're visible to anyone who wishes to pull them down explicitly) but I don't have the proper permissions--when I was added as a maintainer on PyPI I was only given upload rights, not version management rights--I just fired an email to @aboudreault requesting to be made an admin so I can make this easier on folks.

I've yanked the old releases. So users will now get a message to install 6.0.0b4 for Python3.

Thanks @aboudreault!

just had a chance to test it but it breaks too quick :(
trying to run the following command via script:

cqlsh <my_scylla_hostname> -e "describe keyspaces;"

and I'm getting:

/usr/local/bin/cqlsh:470: DeprecationWarning: Legacy execution parameters will be removed in 4.0. Consider using execution profiles.
/usr/local/bin/cqlsh:500: DeprecationWarning: Setting the consistency level at the session level will be removed in 4.0. Consider using execution profiles and setting the desired consitency level to the EXEC_PROFILE_DEFAULT profile.
<stdin>:1:

any idea how can I use the execute flag in the new version? (6.0.0b4)

  -e EXECUTE, --execute=EXECUTE
                        Execute the statement and quit.

the warnings aren't error so I don't see the real issue and if your query was executed. You should probably create a ticket in the cassandra jira. This project is just packaging cqlsh from the cassandra project and publish it on pypi.
