 | Using Thrift with Python | 
 | ======================== | 
 |  | 
 | Thrift is provided as a set of Python packages. The top level package is | 
 | thrift, and there are subpackages for the protocol, transport, and server | 
 | code. Each package contains modules using standard Thrift naming conventions | 
 | (i.e. TProtocol, TTransport) and implementations in corresponding modules | 
 | (i.e. TSocket). | 
 |  | 
 | The Python libraries can be installed manually using the provided setup.py | 
 | file, or automatically using the install hook provided via autoconf/automake. | 
 | To use the latter, become superuser and do make install. |
