  The protogen package makes it easy to write protoc plugins in Python

I would like to share a Python package I have open sourced in the last couple of days: https://github.com/fischor/protogen-python

  Clean, modern, Python 3.6+ code generator & library for Protobuf 3 and async gRPC

For context: in a project I was working on recently, we relied heavily on Protocol buffers. All our internal and external services expose a GRPC interface. Also the client libraries that are used by the end users rely on the Proto service interfaces. However, shipping simply the generated code that comes with the official protoc Python plugin or any other standardised Python protoc plugin (like betterproto) was not sufficient for us. We wanted certain modifications and additions to the generated client code like service clients that would automatically pick up credentials/service account files, a more Pythonic handling for requests that work with pagination or long running operations etc.
