Hi folks, I'm hoping someone with commit access can review THRIFT-1115<https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/THRIFT-1115> ("python TBase class for dynamic (de)serialization, and __slots__ option for memory savings") to let me know if it needs any more work, or if it can be committed. I think it's fallen through the cracks, unfortunately. I'm very motivated to get this code into trunk, so I don't have to patch the release to get the big memory and code size savings it provides.
The patch (v3) I attached on April 19th addresses all the concerns and feedback I got. (And it includes exhaustive tests that all pass for me on python 2.4 and 2.7...) I'd appreciate any additional feedback, or a commit... Thanks! -W -- J. Will Pierce
