Philip Zeyliger commented on AVRO-836:
--------------------------------------

This looks great to me.  Some comments:

1) Are you sure you want to put avro into scripts/?  Seems like src/avro would 
be just as good a place.

2) Usage help:

{quote}
[1]air::py(129882)$PYTHONPATH=src ./scripts/avro
error: You must specify `cat` or `write`
[1]air::py(129888)$PYTHONPATH=src ./scripts/avro write 
error: No schema specified
{quote}
Have you considered spitting out a more useful message here?  You can get 
optparse to spit out fairly nice error messages.  It's hard to figure out 
what's required and how to use it.


Thanks!
