Alexander Shigin commented on THRIFT-395:
-----------------------------------------
It would break backward compatibility if encoding isn't utf-8. And there is no
way to specify which encoding is used.
The next issue is fastbinary. You'll still get the exception if
TBinaryProtocolAccelerated is used.
> Python library + compiler does not support unicode strings

> Effectively, all strings in the python bindings are treated as binary strings
> -- no encoding/decoding to UTF-8 is done. So if a unicode object is passed
> to a (regular, non-binary) string, an exception is raised.
