protobuf - Registry for Google Protocol Buffer messages and enums¶

Overview¶

This module provides central registry for Google Protocol Buffer messages and enums. The generated *_pb2.py protobuf files could be registered using register_decriptor or load_registered function. The registry could be then used to obtain information about protobuf messages or enum types, or to create message instances or enum values.

Functions¶

register_decriptor¶

firebird.base.protobuf.register_decriptor(file_descriptor)¶

Registers enums and messages defined by protobuf file DESCRIPTOR.

Return type: None

load_registered¶

firebird.base.protobuf.load_registered(group)¶

Load registered protobuf packages.

Protobuf packages must register the pb2-file DESCRIPTOR in entry_point section of setup.cfg file.

Parameters: group (str) – Entry-point group name.

Example

# setup.cfg:

[options.entry_points]
firebird.base.protobuf =
    firebird.base.lib_a = firebird.base.lib_a_pb2:DESCRIPTOR
    firebird.base.lib_b = firebird.base.lib_b_pb2:DESCRIPTOR
    firebird.base.lib_c = firebird.base.lib_c_pb2:DESCRIPTOR

# will be loaded with:

load_registered('firebird.base.protobuf')

Return type: None

is_msg_registered¶

firebird.base.protobuf.is_msg_registered(name)¶

Returns True if specified name refers to registered protobuf message type.

Return type: bool

is_enum_registered¶

firebird.base.protobuf.is_enum_registered(name)¶

Returns True if specified name refers to registered protobuf enum type.

Return type: bool

get_enum_type¶

firebird.base.protobuf.get_enum_type(name)¶

Returns wrapper instance for protobuf enum type with specified name.

Raises: KeyError – When enum type is not registered.
Return type: ProtoEnumType

get_enum_value_name¶

firebird.base.protobuf.get_enum_value_name(enum_type_name, value)¶

Returns name for the enum value.

Return type: str

create_message¶

firebird.base.protobuf.create_message(name)¶

Returns new protobuf message instance.

Parameters: name (str) – Fully qualified protobuf message name.
Raises: KeyError – When message type is not registered.
Return type: Any

get_enum_field_type¶

firebird.base.protobuf.get_enum_field_type(msg, field_name)¶

Returns name of enum type for message enum field.

Raises: KeyError – When message does not have specified field.
Return type: str

Data classes¶

ProtoMessageType¶

class firebird.base.protobuf.ProtoMessageType(name, constructor)¶

Bases: firebird.base.types.Distinct

Google protobuf message type

get_key()¶

Returns name.

Return type: Any

constructor: Callable¶

name: str¶

ProtoEnumType¶

class firebird.base.protobuf.ProtoEnumType(descriptor)¶

Bases: firebird.base.types.Distinct

Google protobuf enum type

__getattr__(name)¶: Returns the value corresponding to the given enum name.

get_key()¶

Returns name.

Return type: Any

get_value_name(number)¶

Returns a string containing the name of an enum value.

Raises: KeyError – If there is no value for specified name.
Return type: str

items()¶

Return a list of the (name, value) pairs of the enum.

These are returned in the order they were defined in the .proto file.

keys()¶

Return a list of the string names in the enum.

These are returned in the order they were defined in the .proto file.

values()¶

Return a list of the integer values in the enum.

These are returned in the order they were defined in the .proto file.

descriptor: google.protobuf.descriptor.EnumDescriptor¶

property name¶

Returns full enum type name

Return type: str
