Description

Currently, Python's THeaderProtocol implementation is hard-coded to use TBinaryProtocol for outgoing connections even though it's possible to use other sub-protocols like TCompactProtocol. It'd be good to expose this from THeaderProtocol and THeaderProtocolFactory so users can choose their outbound protocol.
