"""Contains a metaclass and helper functions used to create
|
|
protocol message classes from Descriptor objects at runtime.
|
|
|
|
Recall that a metaclass is the "type" of a class.
|
|
(A class is to a metaclass what an instance is to a class.)
|
|
|
|
In this case, we use the GeneratedProtocolMessageType metaclass
|
|
to inject all the useful functionality into the classes
|
|
output by the protocol compiler at compile-time.
|
|
|
|
The upshot of all this is that the real implementation
|
|
details for ALL pure-Python protocol buffers are *here in
|
|
this file*.
