Bryan Duxbury commented on THRIFT-395:
--------------------------------------
My suspicion is that the python lib wrote a multibyte character string to the
wire with a "character" instead of "byte" length header. Then, once the
clientside read into the middle of that string, it got off sync. I could see
this tripping up pretty much *any* client lib, including python.
> 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.
