On Windows thrift files don't get picked up properly, combined issue with ThriftPY

[ErKatz]

This is related to this issue in ThriftPY

On windows, I get the following error:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "C:/Users/Erez.Katz/PycharmProjects/UserSeg/GetData.py", line 1, in
import happybase
File "C:\Users\Erez.Katz\UserSegmentation\lib\site-packages\happybase_init_.py", line 11, in
'Hbase_thrift')
File "C:\Users\Erez.Katz\UserSegmentation\lib\site-packages\thriftpy\parser_init_.py", line 30, in load
include_dir=include_dir)
File "C:\Users\Erez.Katz\UserSegmentation\lib\site-packages\thriftpy\parser\parser.py", line 499, in parse
url_scheme))
thriftpy.parser.exc.ThriftParserError: ThriftPy does not support generating module with path in protocol 'c'

'c' is recognized as the url scheme for the path
'C:\Users\JLPicard\UserSegmentation\lib\site-packages\happybase\Hbase.thrift'

This is also caused by this issue:
Thriftpy/thriftpy#269

My current workaround in the happybase\\__init__.py and it is combined with the workaround suggested in Thriftpy/thriftpy#269 :

``
import platform

if platform.system()=="Windows":
_thriftpy.load(
'file://'+_pkg_resources.resource_filename('happybase', 'Hbase.thrift'),
'Hbase_thrift')
else:
_thriftpy.load(
_pkg_resources.resource_filename('happybase', 'Hbase.thrift'),
'Hbase_thrift')
``

The fix is localized to Windows only because ThriftPy currently does not handle the "file" scheme and just throws an exception when it encounters it.

this seems something specific to thriftpy and hence out of scope for happybase.

Modify the parser code in the windows side. Go to your python installation folder's site packages (...\Lib\site-packages\thriftpy\parser.py) and then make changes in line no. 488 where you get this line

if url_scheme == '':

and change this to:
if len(url_scheme) <= 1:
