How to get top-level protobuf enum value name by number in python?
For example, I have proto-file File.proto
:
enum Test {
ONE = 1;
TWO = 2;
}
I generate file File_pb2.py
with protoc from File.proto
.
I want in a python-code get string "ONE" (that corresponds to the name of File_pb2.ONE) by value 1 (that corresponds to the value of File_pb2.ONE) from generated file File_pb2.py
without defining my own dictionaries. How can I do that?
Assuming the generated python is located in File_pb2.py code Try this:
file_pb2._TEST.values_by_number[1].name
In your case, this should give 'ONE'
The reverse is :
file_pb2._TEST.values_by_name['ONE'].number
will give 1
.
EDIT: As correctly pointed by @dyoo in the comments, a new method was later introduced in protobuf library:
file_pb2.Test.Name(1)
file_pb2.Test.Value('One')
EDIT: This has changed again in proto3. Now the Name() and Value() methods belong to the EnumTypeWrapper class so they can be accessed like:
file_pb2.Name(1)
file_pb2.Value('One')
