I am following this site for creating a simple client server communication http://www.avabodh.com/thrift/client_server.html

so i have written a simple calculator.thrift file code

namspace cpp example
service Calculator
{
    i64 add(1:i32 num1, 2:i32 num2);
}

in my home folder and run 

python -m thrift_compiler.main --gen cpp2 calculator.thrift

I am getting this error when i am going to generate gen-cpp2 folder which contains all generated cpp files

IIRC the python-based compiler has been removed from the sources a while ago. Here's the official Python tutorial which should also work with the rather old version 0.9.3

In a nutshell, you need to make install the Thrift compiler, then run it as described in the tutorial to generate the code from the IDL:

thrift  --gen cpp  calculator.thrift

To get more info about cmdline parameters type

thrift  --help
