Alexander Shigin commented on THRIFT-395:
-----------------------------------------

Your patch also throws exception if I send str type. 

{code}
>>> unicode('абв', 'utf-8').encode('utf-8').encode('utf-8')
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
UnicodeDecodeError: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xd0 in position 0: ordinal 
not in range(128)
{code}

> 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.
