--------------------------------------------------------------
utf8 is handled by "-gen py:utf8_strings" generator option (or something
similar, refer to --help) in Thrift <= 0.9.3.
It simply generates encode and decode method calls inside string field read
write methods.
If you're using a protocol object directory, you need to do the conversion
yourself.
As to the "why" part, it's to avoid breaking existing code, as discussed in the
original issue that contains the patch.
