Description

AVRO/python will eventually need something analogous to http://wiki.apache.org/thrift/ThriftUsagePython, the Thrift Lightning talk at http://x1024.net/blog/, or http://code.google.com/apis/protocolbuffers/docs/pythontutorial.html . While the API is still being developed, however, it may make sense to simply have a unit test that illustrates reasonable usage of the APIs. This can also serve as a place that users look at to learn the APIs and comment on their friendliness and pythonicity.
