-Protocol Buffers - Google's data interchange format |
-Copyright 2008 Google Inc. |
- |
-This directory contains the Python Protocol Buffers runtime library. |
- |
-Normally, this directory comes as part of the protobuf package, available |
-from: |
- |
- http://code.google.com/p/protobuf |
- |
-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 2.4 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: |
- |
- http://peak.telecommunity.com/DevCenter/EasyInstall#installation-instructions |
- |
-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) Run the tests: |
- |
- $ python setup.py test |
- |
- 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 |
- |
- 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 |
-===== |
- |
-The complete documentation for Protocol Buffers is available via the |
-web at: |
- |
- http://code.google.com/apis/protocolbuffers/ |
- |
-C++ Implementation |
-================== |
- |
-WARNING: This is EXPERIMENTAL and only available for CPython platforms. |
- |
-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 |
- |
-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. |
