33"""Contains a metaclass and helper functions used to create
34protocol message classes from Descriptor objects at runtime.
35
36Recall that a metaclass is the "type" of a class.
37(A class is to a metaclass what an instance is to a class.)
38
39In this case, we use the GeneratedProtocolMessageType metaclass
40to inject all the useful functionality into the classes
41output by the protocol compiler at compile-time.
42
43The upshot of all this is that the real implementation
44details for ALL pure-Python protocol buffers are *here in
45this file*.
