Build Riak PB messages for Python. This requires the protoc command to be in your PATH. Your distro may have a protoc or protobuf package, or you can build from source easily (installs to /usr/local/bin/protoc):

git clone git://github.com/google/protobuf.git
cd protobuf
git checkout v2.6.1
./autogen.sh
./configure
make && sudo make install

Then:

pip install protobuf
pip install six
cd riak_pb
make python_compile

The following is only if you want to run the Python test suite

Assuming your single-node Riak TS devrel build is in $HOME/riak_ts, and that Riak is not running:

cd riak-python-client
export RIAK_DIR=$HOME/riak_ts/dev/dev1
make -C buildbot preconfigure

$RIAK_DIR/bin/riak start

make -C buildbot configure
python setup.py setup_timeseries --riak-admin=$RIAK_DIR/bin/riak-admin

To use interactive Python (from the top level of the riak-python-client clone):
