Sean Jensen-Grey commented on AVRO-1286:
----------------------------------------

I really haven't. 

When I entered Avro-959 I wanted to use python in a streaming job to process 
avro files. The whole stack was broken with respect to that goal, not just 
seeking in the avro reader code.  I made a 4 hour attempt at using a buffer and 
removing the seek calls. I personally wouldn't spend a ton of time on it. 

It might be better to use https://cffi.readthedocs.org/en/release-0.8/ to 
interface to the C Avro implementation. One gets speed, less memory overhead 
and library usable across all python implementations.
