Requirements and installation

Operators do not deploy a protobuf service. The DNS and registrar images already contain this library and its runtime dependencies. It needs no port, volume, configuration file, or separate container.

For source builds, Python 3.13+ is required. The library uses protobuf; credential RPC users also require the grpc extra. Each consumer follows the library's main branch in pyproject.toml. CI resolves that branch once per run so tests and image builds use the same revision. Nothing is published to PyPI.

For development, place rpt_protobuf alongside the three service checkouts and use uv. Their editable source overrides use that sibling checkout. Docker Buildx can fetch the public main branch as a named build context, or use a local sibling.

See development before changing bindings or dependency pins.
