+This directory contains google.protobuf module version 2.6.0 build 0. |
+ |
+sergiyb@: It has been manually renamed to protobuf26. This is needed to avoid |
+conflicts with a built-in google.protobuf module found on many developer |
+machines. The long-term solution to this problem, however, should be virtualenv. |
+Unfortunately due to limited time and lack of experience, it was not a |
+reasonable short-term solution. |
+ |
+If you need to update this package, please make sure that you replace all |
+the references to google.protobuf in the package itself with protobuf26, e.g. |
+ |
+ from google.protobuf import text_format |
+ import google.protobuf |
+ |
+becomes |
+ |
+ from protobuf26 import text_format |
+ import protobuf26 |
+ |
