Library for serializing protobuf objects - Python version

This library is used for simplifying the serialization and deserialization of protocol buffer objects to/from files. The main use-case is to save and read a large collection of objects of the same type. Each file contains a header with the description of the protocol buffer, meaning that no compilation of .proto description file is required before reading a pbz file.
