Python cassandra driver installation

I have an installation shell script which installs the Cassandra python driver like below,

Source : https://datastax.github.io/python-driver/installation.html

#6) Install the Cassandra-Driver
echo "5) Install the cassandra-driver"
echo $password | sudo -S pip install cassandra-driver >/dev/null
echo "   Installed the cassandra-driver"

Now the problem is for the first time, sudo -S pip install cassandra-driver is taking around 15 mins to install. Is there a better way to install this like local pip repository (or) Is it possible to package this so that I just want to unzip and run.

It takes long because it compiles all code with Cython - you can either disable it with --no-cython (it will work, but will be slower.), or if you have all machines with same set of libraries, then you can build driver on one of them into form of .egg file, and then install from .egg (it requires easy_install installed). This could be done with following commands

python setup.py build
python setup.py bdist_egg
sudo easy_install <path-to-egg-file>
