David Reiss commented on THRIFT-395:
------------------------------------
I addressed Chad's comments on THRIFT-414 and got the patch to compile and the
tests to pass. If the Java folks sign off on that, I'll commit it and 413,
then it should be easier for us to move forward on this one. I think the
hardest thing is going to be propagating the presence of the annotation into
the extension module so that it knows to verify the encoding on output and
decode strings on input.
> Python library + compiler does not support unicode strings

> Effectively, all strings in the python bindings are treated as binary strings
> -- no encoding/decoding to UTF-8 is done. So if a unicode object is passed
> to a (regular, non-binary) string, an exception is raised.
