# This is a placeholder for python headers. Projects needing to use |
# fast cpp protos in protobuf's python interface should build with |
# --define=use_fast_cpp_protos=true, and in addition, provide |
-# //util/python:python_headers dependency that in turn provides Python.h. |
+# //external:python_headers dependency that in turn provides Python.h. |
+# |
+# Projects that include protobuf using a Bazel external repository will need to |
+# add a workspace rule to their WORKSPACE files to add an external workspace |
+# that includes the Python headers. For example, the protobuf WORKSPACE file |
+# includes the following local_repository rule that points to this directory: |
+# |
+# new_local_repository( |
+# name = "python", |
+# path = __workspace_dir__ + "/util/python", |
