tensorflow: Need Protobuf pip wheel package for Python 3.4, which is missing the setup doc

Current documentation only gives protobuf-3.0.0b2.post2-cp35-none-any.whl but nothing for python 3.4.

Environment info

Operating System: Mac OS X El Capitan 10.11.6

Installed version of CUDA and cuDNN: None (Intel Iris Graphics 6100)

If installed from binary pip package, provide: TF_BINARY_URL=https://storage.googleapis.com/tensorflow/mac/cpu/tensorflow-0.10.0rc0-py3-none-any.whl

pip package you installed: `tensorflow-0.10.0rc0-py3-none-any.whl`

Steps to reproduce

Follow the Mac setup steps here
Installation completed fine.
Protobuf’s package is the pure python one, which is VERY SLOW. The setup guide only gives a pip wheel package for Python 3.5

What steps you have tried

$ pip3 install --upgrade https://storage.googleapis.com/tensorflow/mac/protobuf-3.0.0b2.post2-cp35-none-any.whl
protobuf-3.0.0b2.post2-cp35-none-any.whl is not a supported wheel on this platform.

$ pip3 install --upgrade https://storage.googleapis.com/tensorflow/mac/protobuf-3.0.0b2.post2-cp34-none-any.whl

That’s a good idea 😃 Let me share them here first:

All the instructions are in line with here, please see the page for all the prerequisites: https://github.com/google/protobuf/blob/master/src/README.md

Then I tried to run the following commands: git clone https://github.com/google/protobuf.git cd protobuf ./autogen.sh CXXFLAGS=“-fPIC -g -O2” ./configure make -j12 export PROTOC=$PWD/src/protoc cd python python3.4 setup.py bdist_wheel --cpp_implementation --compile_static_extension cd dist

The wheel file will be in the “dist” directory.

Unfortunately, just renaming the .whl file seems insufficient. You also have to rename <venv_path>/lib/python3.4/site-packages/google/protobuf/internal/_api_implementation.cpython-35m-darwin.so to <venv_path>/lib/python3.4/site-packages/google/protobuf/internal/_api_implementation.so. @gunan, perhaps it’s worth building a 3.4 specific protobuf package.

How can you verify that you actually have a C++ version of the protobuf library installed?

python -c "from google.protobuf.internal import api_implementation; print(api_implementation._default_implementation_type)"

still says python
