I'd really like a review (and, of course, acceptance) of the patches to the Python library here:
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AVRO-1318 https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AVRO-1323 These changes are small but support schema fingerprinting, which opens the door to some fairly substantial speedups in Python serialization and deserialization., not to mention ~laserson's Cython-based optimizations. --Jeremy
