Comment #6 on issue 275 by the.real...@gmail.com: Incorrect installation
with setup.py breaks local override
http://code.google.com/p/protobuf/issues/detail?id=275
Ah. Based on this information, the problem is that your local install is
*not* using setuptools for the install. As a result, the protobuf package
doesn't end up being added to the google.__path__. (From the earlier
message, I thought you were using --root to install the "local" copy rather
than the "system" copy.)
There are two options to fix this:
1. Use setuptools to install the local version of protobuf
2. Use "import google;
google.__path__.insert(0,'/the/local/protobuf/google')", in place of
inserting the local copy on sys.path.
While making the system-level __init__.py is a workaround for this
particular use case, you should be aware that it may introduce *different*
importing problems for other libraries under the google.* package
namespace, depending on what is imported when, and what order things are
added on to sys.path. So I don't recommend that you keep that workaround.
