Hmm - me neither, but I'm learning Python as we go along so its probably me...
Seems to work like a charm now tho. Many thanks for your help guys,
its very much appreciated.
Is there any chance of having the protocol buffers core modules
included in the SDK in future? This would open up the possibilities of
writing protobuf based RPC-over-HTTP applications without the learning
curve I've just had to go through :-)
Kind Regards
