ThriftPy is a pure Python implementation of Apache Thrift in a pythonic way.

Documentation: https://thriftpy.readthedocs.org/

Currently ThriftPy have these features (also advantages over the upstream Python lib):

- Pure Python implementation. No longer need to compile & install the 'thrift' package. All you need is thriftpy and thrift file.

- Compatible with Apache Thrift. You can use ThriftPy together with the official implementation servers and clients, such as a upstream server with a thriftpy client or the opposite.

- Currently implemented protocols and transports:

* binary protocol (Python and cython)

* compact protocol (Python and cython)

* json protocol

* buffered transport (Python & cython)

* framed transport

* tornado server and client (with tornado 4.0)

- Can directly load thrift file as module, the sdk code will be generated on the fly.

- Easy RPC server/client setup.
