Hi,

I'm invoking Thrift as
$ thrift --gen py:new_style,utf8strings ...

However, I'm getting this exception when sending:
  File "model/graphdb/graphdb/Graph.py", line 923, in send_update_person
    args.write(self._oprot)
  File "model/graphdb/graphdb/Graph.py", line 5334, in write
    oprot.writeString(self.one_line_bio)
File "hsn/hsn_virtualenv/lib/python2.6/site-packages/thrift/protocol/TBinaryProtocol.py", line 123, in writeString
    self.trans.write(str)
File "hsn/hsn_virtualenv/lib/python2.6/site-packages/thrift/transport/TTransport.py", line 164, in write
    self.__wbuf.write(buf)
UnicodeEncodeError: 'ascii' codec can't encode character u'\xe4' in position 1: ordinal not in range(128)

I expected it to send UTF-8 and that line 5334 in that traceback would read:
oprot.writeString(self.one_line_bio.encode('utf-8'))

per https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/THRIFT-395
and, specifically
http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/incubator/thrift/trunk/compiler/cpp/src/generate/t_py_generator.cc : 1998

Am I missing something I have to do to enable unicode support in Thrift (sorry, I'm a beginner)?

Thanks
