Module message_factory

source code

Provides a factory class for generating dynamic messages.

The easiest way to use this class is if you have access to the FileDescriptor protos containing the messages you want to create you can just do the following:

message_classes = message_factory.GetMessages(iterable_of_file_descriptors) my_proto_instance = message_classes['some.proto.package.MessageName']()

Builds a dictionary of all the messages available in a set of files.

Args:
  file_protos: Iterable of FileDescriptorProto to build messages out of.

Returns:
  A dictionary mapping proto names to the message classes. This will include
  any dependent messages as well as any messages defined in the same file as
  a specified message.
