Was having some issues with the Python bindings on Windows when pulling back a list of services. Looks like the issue actually existed in Apache Thrift's stuff: https://github.com/apache/thrift/pull/1938/commits/d781fa9ae19537518fcccfd3c9b521410eaddace Not super sure why Thrift need to be used for this, we could maybe cut out the middle man from here? https://github.com/osquery/osquery-python/blob/master/osquery/extensions/ttypes.py#L339
