protoc-gen-twirpy

twirp support for python

Installing and using plugin

1. Make sure your GO environment, Protoc compiler is properly setup.
2. Install the plugin : go install This will build the plugin and will be available at $GOBIN directory which is usually $GOPATH/bin
3. Generate code for haberdasher.proto using twirpy plugin : protoc --python_out=./ --twirpy_out=./ haberdasher.proto

• python_out : The directory where generated Protobuf Python code needs to be saved.
• twirpy_out : The directory where generated Twirp Python server and client code needs to be saved.

The compiler gives the error below if it's not able to find the plugin.

--twirpy_out: protoc-gen-twirpy: Plugin failed with status code 1.

In such cases, you can give absolute path to plugin, eg: --plugin=protoc-gen-twirpy=$GOBIN/protoc-gen-twirpy
