| 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). There is also a subpackage reflection, which contains |
| the generated code for the reflection structures. |
| |
| 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. |
