Description

Python schema objects need to produce a simple representation that demonstrates their field identity.

{avro.schema.Schema}

objects need to provide a

{fingerprint}

member field to enable quick checking of schema matching (even when the schema has other, possibly changed decoration).

Based on a patch pulled from laserson's proposed changes to make a collection of C-typing hints. These changes will be backwards-compatible.
