Description

Referencing #139, I almost got pybind11_protobuf working in my repository, but I get the following error: BUILD:39:17: no such package '@com_google_protobuf//python': BUILD file not found in directory 'python' of external repository @com_google_protobuf. Add a BUILD file to a directory to mark it as a package. and referenced by '//mypath:my_ext.so'.

Is this to be expected in the current development state?

Research direction

Start with BUILD:39 and the external repository reference @com_google_protobuf//python, using issue #139 for context. Reproduce the failure for the my_ext.so target and inspect how the external repository is configured. Done means the reported missing BUILD file error is resolved or the expected development-state limitation is documented.
