Jake Farrell reassigned THRIFT-1539:
------------------------------------
Assignee: Jake Farrell
> Build and distribute the fb303 python libraries along with thrift
> -----------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: THRIFT-1539
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/THRIFT-1539
> Project: Thrift
> Issue Type: Wish
> Components: Build Process, Deployment, Python - Library
> Reporter: Morten Lied Johansen
> Assignee: Jake Farrell
>
> [Scribe|https://github.com/facebook/scribe], which is another project open
> sourced by Facebook, depends on fb303 which is hidden away in the contrib
> directory of Thrift. If the fb303 library could be uploaded to PyPI along
> with the thrift library, it would be a lot easier to build and install
> Scribe. This might also be relevant to do for all languages that distribute
> libraries used by generated code, not just Python.
> As far as I understand it, the fb303 library defines a useful API for long
> running services in general, so if it was distributed better, it might get a
> decent user base over time.
> PS.
> Yes, it seems silly that the Thrift project should maintain and distribute a
> library mostly (only?) used by a different, completely independent, project,
> but that's how Facebook decided to do it when they open sourced these
> things...
