@absurdfarce just a small tweak, but needed to update the Homebrew formula for Cassandra's dependencies.

Thanks for the ping @bschoening. I was looking at this some last night but didn't actually get it finished.

Looking over this ticket also reminded me that we need to handle the removal of distutils in 3.12. My guess is that PYTHON-1334 (the migration to pyproject.toml) will handle that as a side-effect but if setup.py is around in some capacity after that we need to fix it. I've filed PYTHON-1421 to handle that.

Thanks (once again) @bschoening! That was a nice catch on the disconnect between requirements.txt and setup.py... yuck.

@absurdfarce is there a planned release date for next version?
Required to fix apache/airflow#52530 in apache-airflow

Hey @eladkal, we don't have a scheduled date yet. We're trying to get several other driver releases out this quarter so it certainly won't be this month. That said, I'd like to see if we can get 3.30.0 out in the next quarter.. so my guess is sometime late summer.

That's very much contingent on being able to get the asyncio reactor to production quality, though, so that's certainly not a guarantee.

A quick update here @eladkal ... we recently announced that we're planning on getting a 3.29.3 out soon which will include the changes in this PR. There's a few more changes I'd like to squeeze into that release but I hope to have something out soon!

@eladkal A quick update: 3.29.3 was just released today and it does include this change
