First off, hello everyone.
I am new to Thrift and am experimenting with using it in an application
I use. Currently, the data for the application is just stored in a text
file with a read only python library wrapped around it. I am wanting
something a little better and supporting multiple languages. So Thift is
an intriguing technology.
But I am wondering, is there a python based protocol that is human
readable? From looking at the source, it appears that the only protocol
really available for python is the TBinaryProtocol (yes there is also
TBinaryProtocolAccelerated). I am wanting something that is human
readable and able to both read and write objects to and from the file.
Having this would make changing to a Thrift based data store a lot
easier to sell to my co-workers. I am thinking of writing one but I am
not a great programmer and would definitely like to build on what
someone else has already done.
Thanks in advance.
mike
