MakeDescriptor()

def google.protobuf.descriptor.MakeDescriptor	(		desc_proto,
			package = '',
			build_file_if_cpp = True,
			syntax = None
	)

Make a protobuf Descriptor given a DescriptorProto protobuf.

Handles nested descriptors. Note that this is limited to the scope of defining
a message inside of another message. Composite fields can currently only be
resolved if the message is defined in the same scope as the field.

Args:
  desc_proto: The descriptor_pb2.DescriptorProto protobuf message.
  package: Optional package name for the new message Descriptor (string).
  build_file_if_cpp: Update the C++ descriptor pool if api matches.
                     Set to False on recursion, so no duplicates are created.
  syntax: The syntax/semantics that should be used.  Set to "proto3" to get
          proto3 field presence semantics.
Returns:
  A Descriptor for protobuf messages.
