lightProtobuf

light protobuf is a lightweigth and full Python 3 implementation of google's Protocol buffers.

It is two projects : lightprotobuf that is the standalone library to encode/decode protobuf messages, and lightprotobufgen that is a .proto parser.

As of today, the lightprotobuf library is almost fully tested and working. It supports all type defiend in the protocol and any kind message can be described as python class and enum. The only missing feature (and will be added in next release) is the default value.

However, the lightprotobufgen tool is under development and doesn't cover the whole specification of *.proto files. However, you can use it yet on single file message (see the lightprotobufgen directory for more explanations.)

The both package are available from pip for installation

pip install lightprotobuf
pip install lightprotobufgen

NOTE that lightprotobufgen depends on antlr>=4.5 framework
