Description

i install thrift python lib by easy_install
but in version0.8,I still didn't see the patch(https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/THRIFT-395) be added in the lib
I had to hack the code follow the patch manually (https://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/attachment/12404198/0003-THRIFT-395.-python-Phase-Two-of-support-for-unicode.patch)
Can any of the developers fix the problem?
