protobuf-2.3.0 : Problem generating python files with protoc

[dear chap]

I have this weird problem when generating python files from .proto
files using protoc. I am running protoc on addressbook.proto
and in the addressbook_pb2.py I have this string

DESCRIPTOR = descriptor.FileDescriptor(
name='addressbook.proto',
package='tutorial',
serialized_pb='\n\x11\x61\x64\x64ressbook.proto\x12\x08tutorial\"\xda
\x01\n\x06Person\x12\x0c\n\x04name\x18\x01 \x02(\t\x12\n\n\x02id
\x18\x02 \x02(\x05\x12\r\n\x05\x65mail\x18\x03 \x03(\t\x12+\n\x05phone
\x18\x04 \x03(\x0b\x32\x1c.tutorial.Person.PhoneNumber\x1aM\n
\x0bPhoneNumber\x12\x0e\.........'

before the _PERSON_PHONETYPE = descriptor.EnumDescriptor definitions

Due to this I am unable to use any of the generated python classes in
other scripts. I installed protobuf-2.2.0 on same machine and it does
not output that string so I am able to use the genereated files
without any issues. Version of python being used is 2.6.4.

What error do you get when trying to use the generated class? With python 2.5.2 I was able to execute the sample add_person.py program.

It sounds like you installed the new version of protoc but forgot to install the new version of the python protobuf package.  You have to actually follow the installation instructions in python/README.txt.

Looks like that. Works fine now. Thanks Kenton
