im-protobuf 1.0.2

Cross-product protocol buffers

Informatics Matters cross-product protocol buffers

A library of python bindings for protocol buffer definitions used by one or more products in the Informatics Matters product suite.

The protocol buffers are used across multiple components and languages. At the outset we anticipate supporting Python, and Java. The root of all packages is src/main as required by build tools like Gradle. From there the directory is proto/informaticsmatters followed by component directories or a common directory. An example protocol message file might be:

src/main/proto/informaticsmatters/datamanager/PodMessage.proto

When transmitted on a topic-based messaging service the topic is the lower-case dot-separated message name relative to informaticsmatters (excluding the Message suffix), e.g. datamanager.pod.

Installation (Python)

The protocol buffers are published on PyPI and can be installed from there:

pip install im-protobuf

Once installed you can access the protocol buffers with:

>>> from informaticsmatters.protobuf.datamanager import PodMessage_pb2
