| 10 | ======================== |
| 11 | |
| 12 | Thrift is provided as a set of Python packages. The top level package is |
| 13 | thrift, and there are subpackages for the protocol, transport, and server |
| 14 | code. Each package contains modules using standard Thrift naming conventions |
| 15 | (i.e. TProtocol, TTransport) and implementations in corresponding modules |
| David Reiss | d683219 | 2007-09-05 00:47:32 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 16 | (i.e. TSocket). There is also a subpackage reflection, which contains |
| 17 | the generated code for the reflection structures. |

| 19 | The Python libraries can be installed manually using the provided setup.py |
| 20 | file, or automatically using the install hook provided via autoconf/automake. |
| 21 | To use the latter, become superuser and do make install. |
