I mentioned it on IRC, but this should be a workaround for now:

from cassandra.cqlengine import columns
from cassandra.cqlengine.models import Model

class MyModel(Model):
    ...  # define PK, etc
    static_counter = columns.Counter()
    # The `static` attribute already exists, inherited from columns.Column
    static_counter.static = True

Please let me know if this doesn't work.

As-is, this PR adds an argument to columns.Counter.__init__, and it's not a keyword argument at end of the args, so it's a breaking API change that needs to wait until a major revision.

I'm closing this PR. We will probably address it for the next major (PYTHON-926), and we'll credit you in the Git history then.
