Proto Plus for Python

Beautiful, Pythonic protocol buffers.

This library provides a clean, readable, straightforward pattern for declaring messages in protocol buffers. It provides a wrapper around the official implementation, so that using messages feels natural while retaining the power and flexibility of protocol buffers.

Installing

Install this library using pip:

$ pip install proto-plus

This library carries a dependency on the official implementation (protobuf), which may install a C component.
