import A will cause error since it referenced B, which has not be defined.

I'm not so sure here. Thrift IDL can easily handle this. Whether Python can
handle this is another question, but Thrift per se can.
If type B is referenced before it is defined the parser creates a typedef
construct for it behind the scenes. That needs to be handled slightly different
in the code generator, but that's the only difference w/regard to Thrift itself.
