cybin.ProtocolError: No protocol version header

Answer 1

The problem seems related to the usage of the "strict read/write" flags. There is a non-standard "cybin" implementation of the standard Thrift binary protocol, the error is in this particular code block:

def read_message_begin(self):
    cdef int32_t size, version, seqid
    cdef TType ttype

    size = read_i32(self.trans)
    if size < 0:
        version = size & VERSION_MASK
        if version != VERSION_1:
            raise ProtocolError('invalid version %d' % version)

        name = c_read_val(self.trans, T_STRING)
        ttype = <TType>(size & TYPE_MASK)
    else:
        if self.strict_read:
            raise ProtocolError('No protocol version header')       // <<<<<<

        name = c_read_string(self.trans, size)
        ttype = <TType>(read_i08(self.trans))

    seqid = read_i32(self.trans)

    return name, ttype, seqid

Without having tried, I'd guess that setting the "strict read" flag to false (instead of true) when instantiating the CyBin protocol should do the trick.
