setuptools-proto 1.0.0

setuptools plugin to generate python file from protobuf

setuptools-proto

setuptools plugin to compile .proto files using python-betterproto.

Prerequisite

• Protobuf compiler protoc
• Python 3.6+

Enable setuptools-proto

In either of the following scenarios, setuptools-proto will take effects.

• Option 1, install setuptools-proto using pip or other tools:

$ pip install setuptools-proto

• Option 2, require setuptools-proto in setup_requires keyword of setuptools.

So, add it either

setuptools.setup(
    setup_requires=['setuptools-proto'],
)

in setup.py in a imperative fashion or

[options]
setup_requires =
    setuptools-proto

in seutp.cfg in a declarative manner.

Configuration

Protobuf modules

To let setuptools-proto know what to compile, define prot_modules as a ProtoModule list.

from setuptools import setup
from setuptools_proto import ProtoModule

module1 = ProtoModule(
    ['proto/sample/**/*.proto'],
    cwd='proto/sample',
)
module2 = ProtoModule(
    ['demo/grpc/echo.proto', 'demo/grpc/hello.proto'],
    cwd='demo/grpc',
    out_dir='proto',
    include_dirs=['demo/schema'],
)


setup(
    proto_modules=[module1, module2],
)

protoc compiler

By default, setuptools-proto will use the system protoc compiler. If there's a custom install of protoc, which is not in the PATH, You can point environment variable PROTOC to it, or command line argument --protoc to it.

For example,

$ python setup.py --protoc /path/to/protoc build_proto

Execute

An extra command build_proto is added, to compile .proto to python code. This command will be automatically run before command build_py.
