In the current design, unicode in py2 is handled by -gen py:utf8strings
compiler switch.
Does it cover your use case ?

> Project: Thrift
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Python - Library
> Affects Versions: 0.9.3, 1.0
> Reporter: John Lockwood
>
> Service methods which take a string type param, should expect a unicode
> object in Python 2, but instead expect str.
> Service methods which return string type objects should return a unicode
> object in Python 2, but instead return str.
> When making service calls with Python 2, passing in a unicode object with
> non-ascii chars will raise an exception.
