|release level| |ci| |docs| |codecov|

A generator for protocol buffer described APIs for and in Python 3.

This is a generator for API client libraries for APIs
specified by protocol buffers_, such as those inside Google.
It takes a protocol buffer (with particular annotations) and uses it
to generate a client library.

.. _protocol buffers: https://developers.google.com/protocol-buffers/

Purpose

This library primarily exists to facilitate experimentation, particularly
regarding:

• An explicit normalized format for specifying APIs.
• Light weight, in-language code generators.
