Hello, I didn't see utf8 support in fastbinary.c in thrift-0.4.0, so I hacked something in. I'm not a Python C API expert (nor a unicode expert), but the attached patch appears to work when sending utf8 encoded strings whereas without the patch I'd encounter the "UnicodeDecodeError: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte ..." error.
I offer it to this mailing list for review as I'm interested in feedback regarding correctness and general interest in this patch. thx leo
