David Reiss deda141392 THRIFT-388. Create a "ONEWAY" message type that is an alias for "CALL"
Pave the way for a new message type for oneway function calls.
For now, just define the constant in all languages and make
server implementations treat it the same way as a normal call.
Only C++ and Erlang currently check the message type (on the
server side).

There is a little bit of redundancy in the Erlang code, but
the alternative is a bit gross, and this split-up will be
necessary eventually when we start handling one-way calls
differently.

Thrift Python Software Library

Thrift is distributed under the Thrift open source software license.
Please see the included LICENSE file.

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.
