I have installed protobuf but when I run my script that uses pb.py it complains:
from google.protobuf import descriptor as _descriptor
ImportError: No module named google.protobuf
However when I run protoc --version I see libprotoc 2.6.1
The previous posts say to see if protobuf is within the path of python, I can't find the protobuf path though.
Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong? I'm running Yosemite.
I had that exact problem yesterday. Basically you have protoc already, you just need to let Python see it. Here's how to do it:
In your terminal:
export PROTOC_PATH = 'which protoc'
and thenecho $PROTOC_PATH
and then add PROTOC_PATH to your .bash_profile.Hope that helps!
