Description

If you try to send a nil struct as an argument to a service method a panic occurs as it tries to write out all the fields in the struct, the python generated code has guarding 'if self.x != None:' for every struct field, whereas Go only outputs the 'if p.IsSet()' when the field is declared optional, which is not possible for argument lists.
