9Thrift is provided as a set of Python packages. The top level package is
10thrift, and there are subpackages for the protocol, transport, and server
11code. Each package contains modules using standard Thrift naming conventions
12(i.e. TProtocol, TTransport) and implementations in corresponding modules
David Reissd6832192007-09-05 00:47:32 +000013(i.e. TSocket). There is also a subpackage reflection, which contains
14the generated code for the reflection structures.
