    Description

      There are a number of portability problems with python on win32 as I've learned over the past few days.

      • Our use of multiprocess is broken in cqlsh for windows.

      https://docs.python.org/2/library/multiprocessing.html#multiprocessing-programming

      The code was passing self to the sub-process which on windows must be pickleable (it's not). So I refactored to be a class which is initialized in the parent.
      Also, when the windows process starts it needs to load our cqlsh as a module. So I moved cqlsh -> cqlsh.py and added a tiny wrapper for bin/cqlsh

      • Our use of strftime is broken on windows

      The default timezone information %z in strftime isn't valid on windows. I added code to the date format parser in C* to support windows timezone labels.

      • We have a number of file access issues in dtest
      • csv import/export is broken on windows and requires all file be opened with mode 'wb' or 'rb'

      • CCM's use of popen required the univeral_newline=True flag to work on windows
