I am writing a python extension (in C++) which needs to work with protobufs. I would also like to make use of the experimental C++/ Python extension in my application. (i.e. I would like my extension to handle python protobuf messages which are actually backed by c++ messages.)
Is there a reasonable way to do this right now? It appears that the secret to doing this would lie gaining access to the MutableCProtoInsidePyProto method which exists down inside the protobuf pyext code. However, this method is only implemented in the internal _net_proto2___python.so library, which is a python extension itself, and not suitable for 'general' linking to another library (e.g. it has no soname defined). It seems like maybe this could be solved by creating a separate 'implementation' library which would contain the implementation of MutableCProtoInsidePyProto (and its sibling method). This would also require moving the CMessage struct out of the python-proto2.cc file and into a header file so it could be used for both the python extension, and the implementation library. Thoughts?
