Github user jeking3 commented on the issue: https://github.com/apache/thrift/pull/1289 Based on what I've read about py3 strings, and the fact that thrift strings are designated to be encoded as UTF8, this change seems correct. I'm not so sure about what happens on the other side (decoding) however my guess is ti is okay. @nsuke since you did a bunch of work on the python TBinaryProtocol could you look at this?
