Aki Sukegawa created THRIFT-3503:
------------------------------------
Summary: Enable py:utf8string by default
Key: THRIFT-3503
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/THRIFT-3503
Project: Thrift
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Python - Compiler
Reporter: Aki Sukegawa
In python 2 and python 3, string and unicode is handled in very different ways.
py3: {{str}} is unicode (no such type), it is not {{bytes}}.
py2: {{str}} is not {{unicode}}, it is (aliased by) {{bytes}}.
Because of this, while Thrift RPC API handles them as {{str}} for both cases,
it is unicode for python3 users but {{bytes}} for python2 users.
So a user who starts using Thrift + python2 is likely to write code that passes
bytes to Thrift API.
The code is broken when she/he wants to use the code with Thrift + python3.
We should avoid this by changing this now before the first release of Thrift +
Python3.
