> The validate() method in Python does extremely shallow validation: it checks
> only that required fields are not None. It does not check that field values
> have the correct type or that embedded structures or collections are valid.
> This is paltry validation as compared to IsInitialized() in the Python
> Protocol Buffers implementation, which descends into embedded structures and
> checks that they are valid. Not to mention that ProtocolBuffers also check
> value types on assignment.
> It is fairly simple to generate a deep_validate() method that will
> recursively descend into structures and collections and call validate() on
> those which can be validated. I've written something of the sort and I'm
> curious if it would be a welcome addition to the Python generated code.
