My project pulls the protobuf source directly from code.google.com, and builds the tools and libs (protoc, libprotobuf, libprotobuf-lite) as part of its build process. But now I want to use protos from Python, and I'm having trouble getting the python protobuf library to import properly from the generated _pb2.py code.
Protobuf's python/<http://code.google.com/p/protobuf/source/browse/trunk/python/> directory is in my PYTHONPATH, but my standalone python build chokes on the python/google/__init__.py: __import__('pkg_resources').declare_namespace(__name__) because the hermetic python used by my build doesn't have setuptools. Simply removing that line (or adding a try/except for ImportError) seems to make things to work for me. Do I really need to pull in setuptools, in order to use python protobufs? Or is there a way to make the pkgresources dependency optional? - nick -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Protocol Buffers" group.
