#A simple and pure python way to translate python dict object to protobuf message

I used this for my own project

Example

example proto:

message items {
	message require {
		optional bool require_sex = 1; 
		repeated int32 fate = 2 [packed = true];
	}
	message attack_type {
		optional int32 max = 1;
		optional int32 min = 2;
	}
	optional int32 sub_type = 1;
	repeated int32 levels = 2 [packed = true];
	optional require req = 3;
	repeated attack_type attack = 4;
}

generate the python code as down_pb2.py

python code:

>>>from down_pb2 import items
>>>item_message = items()
>>>item_dict = {'req':{'require_sex':1,'fate':[12,34]},'attack':[{'max':29,'min':10},{'max':2,'min':1}]}
>>>parse_dict(item_dict,item_message)
>>>print item_message

let me know if there's any issue
