Hi @JS,

it seems you still need to install the Python cassandra driver.

Navigate to the crud-python folder within the week3-AppDev-crud folder using the terminal with the command below and install the dependencies with pip:

cd week3-AppDev-crud/crud-python/

pip3 install cassandra-driver

This will give you the missing module.

See step 3 here:

Let us know how you get on.
