This directory contains the Python Protocol Buffers runtime library. |
|
|
|
Normally, this directory comes as part of the protobuf package, available |
|
from: |
|
|
|
https://developers.google.com/protocol-buffers/ |
|
|
|
The complete package includes the C++ source code, which includes the |
|
Protocol Compiler (protoc). If you downloaded this package from PyPI |
|
or some other Python-specific source, you may have received only the |
|
Python part of the code. In this case, you will need to obtain the |
|
Protocol Compiler from some other source before you can use this |
|
package. |
|
|
|
Development Warning |
|
=================== |
|
|
|
The Python implementation of Protocol Buffers is not as mature as the C++ |
|
and Java implementations. It may be more buggy, and it is known to be |
|
pretty slow at this time. If you would like to help fix these issues, |
|
join the Protocol Buffers discussion list and let us know! |

Installation |
|
============ |
|
|
|
1) Make sure you have Python 2.6 or newer. If in doubt, run: |
|
|
|
$ python -V |
|
|
|
2) If you do not have setuptools installed, note that it will be |
|
downloaded and installed automatically as soon as you run setup.py. |
|
If you would rather install it manually, you may do so by following |
|
the instructions on this page: |
|
|
|
https://packaging.python.org/en/latest/installing.html#setup-for-installing-packages |
|
|
|
3) Build the C++ code, or install a binary distribution of protoc. If |
|
you install a binary distribution, make sure that it is the same |
|
version as this package. If in doubt, run: |
|
|
|
$ protoc --version |
|
|
|
4) Build and run the tests: |
|
|
|
$ python setup.py build |
|
$ python setup.py google_test |
|
|
|
If you want to build/test c++ implementation, run: |
|
$ python setup.py build --cpp_implementation |
|
$ python setup.py google_test --cpp_implementation |
|
|
|
If some tests fail, this library may not work correctly on your |
|
system. Continue at your own risk. |
|
|
|
Please note that there is a known problem with some versions of |
|
Python on Cygwin which causes the tests to fail after printing the |
|
error: "sem_init: Resource temporarily unavailable". This appears |
|
to be a bug either in Cygwin or in Python: |
|
http://www.cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2005-07/msg01378.html |
|
We do not know if or when it might me fixed. We also do not know |
|
how likely it is that this bug will affect users in practice. |
|
|
|
5) Install: |
|
|
|
$ python setup.py install |
|
|
|
or: |
|
|
|
$ python setup.py install --cpp_implementation |
|
|
|
This step may require superuser privileges. |
|
NOTE: To use C++ implementation, you need to install C++ protobuf runtime |
|
library of the same version and export the environment variable before this |
|
step. See the "C++ Implementation" section below for more details. |
|

Usage |

C++ Implementation |
|
================== |
|
|
|
The C++ implementation for Python messages is built as a Python extension to |
|
improve the overall protobuf Python performance. |
|
|
|
To use the C++ implementation, you need to: |
|
1) Install the C++ protobuf runtime library, please see instructions in the |
|
parent directory. |
|
2) Export an environment variable: |
|
|
|
$ export PROTOCOL_BUFFERS_PYTHON_IMPLEMENTATION=cpp |
|
$ export PROTOCOL_BUFFERS_PYTHON_IMPLEMENTATION_VERSION=2 |
|
|
|
You need to export this variable before running setup.py script to build and |
|
install the extension. You must also set the variable at runtime, otherwise |
|
the pure-Python implementation will be used. In a future release, we will |
|
change the default so that C++ implementation is used whenever it is available. |
|
It is strongly recommended to run `python setup.py test` after setting the |
|
variable to "cpp", so the tests will be against C++ implemented Python |
|
messages.
