- Protocol Buffers - Google's data interchange format
- Copyright 2008 Google Inc.
- This directory contains the Python Protocol Buffers runtime library.
- 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.
- Usage
