Github user eevee commented on the pull request: https://github.com/apache/thrift/pull/213#issuecomment-146636829 Yeah, like I said in the OP, `fastbinary.c` uses a private C interface to cStringIO that was removed in Python 3, and I'm not familiar enough with it to fix it. FYI: I left the company I worked for and no longer have any need for Thrift, so I won't be working on this further. Anyone else, feel free to pick it up. Anyone who desperately needs Thrift on Python 3 may want to try [thriftpy](https://github.com/eleme/thriftpy), which is pure-Python, works everywhere, has a similar API, and doesn't require a manual code generation step.
