using google protobuffers reflection in python
protocol-buffers, python
Solution
If you've got any Python object where `x.foo = 42` works, `setattr(x, 'foo', 42)` should have precisely the same effect. This is a built-in Python function, nothing to do with protobuffers.
Problem
How can I programatically set a field value by its name for a google protobuffer object in python. I've checked the documentation and API, but its just not clear to me, and I haven't been able to find any examples. I'd like to do do something like: ``` protoBufObj.set_field('foo', 42) ``` Thanks.
