Note that protobuf version 2.4.0 added an experimental C++-based
5
library for the python bindings. Currently, this is not enabled by
6
default, and selection of the used backend depends on the
7
PROTOCOL_BUFFERS_PYTHON_IMPLEMENTATION environment variable as such:
9
- when set to 'python' (the default), the classic Python
10
implementation is used
11
- when set to 'cpp', the new implementation is used
13
While you can use this variable to explicitly control the
14
implementation being used, upstream said that the selection methods or
15
the default could change in the future so you should be warned.
