This is the essence of a problem I had with the Thrift spec from a
Facebook puzzle:
http://www.facebook.com/jobs_puzzles/bag_banner.thrift (I myself have
been using thrift for about a day.)
In addition, if Foo has no methods, the generated code does not have
the "pass" statement required by Python for an empty class.
