Hi,
I am working on a GCS emulator for google-cloud-cpp which supports both Rest ( JSON, XML ) and gRPC protocol for testing purposes: googleapis/google-cloud-cpp#4751.

I needs python code for googleapis/google/storage/v1/storage.proto and googleapis/google/storage/v1/storage_resources.proto. So far, I could run bazel and generate those files from googleapis/google/storage/v1/BUILD.bazel. But it would be a lot better if there is a pip package for those file since I don't want to commit the generated files into google-cloud-cpp.

So I would like to ask:

• Is there any pip package for those files ?
• If there isn't, Is it ok if I wrap those generated files into a pip package just for my personal use at google-cloud-cpp ?

Thank you very much.

Hi @vnvo2409,

We generally don't publish protos unless they are part of a library or direct dependencies of some other library. Could you elaborate on why the cpp library needs generated Python protos?

Hi @busunkim96

The cpp library are working on GCS+gRPC plugin. Since gRPC protocol for GCS is not GA, testing against production is inconvenient and expensive. So I am implementing an GCS+gRPC emulator in Python ( Python is simpler compared to other languages ) and I need the generated Python protos.

@vnvo2409, I'm not sure why you need to have those protos published as a separate package: couldn't you just generate them inside your emulator project?

If you do need to publish them to PyPI, please avoid using the "official" names for any such package you create (e.g., use a vnvo2409- prefix, or some such).

Thanks to @crwilcox and #270 , I don't need to publish them to PyPI. Close this issue.
