Github user jeroenvlek commented on the pull request: https://github.com/apache/thrift/pull/213#issuecomment-95121808 The commit 3b4b03e introduces a conversion to bytearray in TBinaryProtocol.writeString(): ```python # after commit 3b4b03e and 3d912d7 def writeString(self, str): encoded = bytearray(str, 'utf-8') self.writeI32(len(encoded)) self.trans.write(encoded) # before def writeString(self, str): self.writeI32(len(str)) self.trans.write(str) ``` This causes problems for people trying to write byte strings. See for example here: https://github.com/wbolster/happybase/issues/40
