What do you mean? It does look like a Python module to me. It's very likely that it should be a private one though, but I see you already asked the maintainer about that. > I have attempted to reach out to the nanopb maintainer to discuss this > issue, but I have not yet received a response.

I don't see a good way forward that doesn't involve NMUing nanopb. -- WBR, wRAR
