Discrepancy in `get_account_info` Response Using Client vs. Direct RPC

Overview

There appears to be a discrepancy in the response received when querying account information using the client method versus a direct RPC call.

Client Method

Version: 0.34 Request:

Python

client.get_account_info(Pubkey.from_string("BLZEEuZUBVqFhj8adcCFPJvPVCiCyVmh3hkJMrU8KuJA")).to_json()

Response:

JSON

{
    "jsonrpc": "2.0",
    "result": {
        "context": {
            "slot": 266143855,
            "apiVersion": "1.17.28"
        },
        "value": {
            "lamports": 2558366285,
            "data": [
                "AAAAAAi2aQPmj/kyc1PszrLaqtyAYSpJobj5d6Ix+gjkmqjkxKegvsQjxYoJAQAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA==",
                "base64"
            ],
            "owner": "TokenkegQfeZyiNwAJbNbGKPFXCWuBvf9Ss623VQ5DA",
            "executable": false,
            "rentEpoch": 18446744073709551615,
            "space": null
        }
    },
    "id": 0
}

Direct RPC Method

Request:

curl --location 'https://api.mainnet-beta.solana.com'\
--header 'Content-Type: application/json'\
--data '{
    "jsonrpc": "2.0",
    "id": 1,
    "method": "getAccountInfo",
    "params": [
        "BLZEEuZUBVqFhj8adcCFPJvPVCiCyVmh3hkJMrU8KuJA",
        {
            "encoding": "jsonParsed"
        }
    ]
}'

Response:

JSON

{
    "jsonrpc": "2.0",
    "result": {
        "context": {
            "apiVersion": "1.17.28",
            "slot": 266143976
        },
        "value": {
            "data": {
                "parsed": {
                    "info": {
                        "decimals": 9,
                        "freezeAuthority": null,
                        "isInitialized": true,
                        "mintAuthority": null,
                        "supply": "9999437875564816324"
                    },
                    "type": "mint"
                },
                "program": "spl-token",
                "space": 82
            },
            "executable": false,
            "lamports": 2558366285,
            "owner": "TokenkegQfeZyiNwAJbNbGKPFXCWuBvf9Ss623VQ5DA",
            "rentEpoch": 18446744073709551615,
            "space": 82
        }
    },
    "id": 1
}

Issue

The client method response does not include the parsed data, which contains important information such as decimals, isInitialized, and supply.

Expected Behavior

Both the client method and the direct RPC call should return the same level of detailed information.

Steps to Reproduce

Execute the client method code to fetch account information.
Execute the direct RPC call using curl.
Compare the responses from both methods.
