to Protocol Buffers

Dear brains,

Currently, I am trying to communicate with a websocket API, which is language independant (using protocol buffers).

Using protoc, I've been able to generate a _pb2.py file from a .proto file. Now, I have totally no idea about what I am supposed to do with this .py file in order to send a message to the server.

It sounds like I must encode/decode it before sending it to the server, but all these terms sounds like Chinese to me.

Concretely, what am I supposed to do in order to communicate with the server, from my python generated file?
