Trung Ly commented on THRIFT-1460:
----------------------------------
I realize this is an old issue, but I don't get why this ticket was closed. It
appears to still be a problem in 0.9.1
{code}
>>> from thrift.Thrift import TType
>>> class MyThriftModel(object):
... def __init__(self, mystring):
... self.mystring=mystring
... def write(self, prot):
... prot.writeFieldBegin('mystring', TType.STRING, 1)
... prot.writeString(self.mystring)
... prot.writeFieldEnd()
...
>>> from thrift.TSerialization import serialize
>>> serialize(MyThriftModel(u'Shaq\u2013Kobe feud'))

UnicodeEncodeError: 'ascii' codec can't encode character u'\u2013' in position

{code}
The problem is the usage of cStringIO (in TMemoryBuffer), particularly when
your data contains utf-8 characters.
> why not add unicode strings support to python directly?
