This directory contains the Python Protocol Buffers runtime library.
+Normally, this directory comes as part of the protobuf package, available
+from:
+
+ http://code.google.com/p/protobuf
+
+The complete package includes the C++ source code, which includes the
+Protocol Compiler (protoc). If you downloaded this package from PyPI
+or some other Python-specific source, you may have received only the
+Python part of the code. In this case, you will need to obtain the
+Protocol Compiler from some other source before you can use this
+package.
