Esteve Fernandez commented on THRIFT-301:
-----------------------------------------
Actually, I'd go one step further and make read() separate from the class (or
at least, allow unbound methods for reading). The reason for doing this is
that, if THRIFT-162 is incorporated into Thrift and we allow immutable objects
(at least for Python), one could implement some kind of interning mechanism.

> Project: Thrift
> Issue Type: Improvement

> Currently, the read() method is bound to each instance, but this makes
> impossible to make structures immutable (see THRIFT-162). The following patch
> changes the compiler to generate a class-bound read() method, it also updates
> the fastbinary extension accordingly.
