This package can be used to generate a Python source or binary distribution for the HBase Thrift bindings.
I've borrowed and modified the Makefile and setup.py file from Ian Eure's python-cassandra.
To upload to PyPI, I run:
$ make
$ python setup.py build sdist upload
Unless you plan on changing the HBase Thrift bindings yourself, you shouldn't need to use this project. To work with HBase from Python, just say
$ sudo pip install hbase-thrift
