# Module scripts.diagnose_protobuf
"""Diagnoses the current protobuf situation.

Protocol buffer needs to be properly installed for Caffe2 to work, and
sometimes it is rather tricky. Specifically, we will need to have a
consistent version between C++ and python simultaneously. This is a
convenience script for one to quickly check if this is so on one's local
machine.

Usage:
    [set your environmental variables like PATH and PYTHONPATH]
    python scripts/diagnose_protobuf.py
