class Message(object):
  """Base class for user defined message objects.

  Used to define messages for efficient transmission across network or
  process space.  Messages are defined using the field classes (IntegerField,
  FloatField, EnumField, etc.).

  Messages are more restricted than normal classes in that they may only
  contain field attributes and other Message and Enum definitions.  These
  restrictions are in place because the structure of the Message class is
  intentended to itself be transmitted across network or process space and
  used directly by clients or even other servers.  As such methods and
  non-field attributes could not be transmitted with the structural information
  causing discrepancies between different languages and implementations.

  Initialization and validation:

    A Message object is considered to be initialized if it has all required
    fields and any nested messages are also initialized.

    Calling 'check_initialized' will raise a ValidationException if it is not
    initialized; 'is_initialized' returns a boolean value indicating if it is
    valid.

    Validation automatically occurs when Message objects are created
    and populated.  Validation that a given value will be compatible with
    a field that it is assigned to can be done through the Field instances
    validate() method.  The validate method used on a message will check that
    all values of a message and its sub-messages are valid.  Assingning an
    invalid value to a field will raise a ValidationException.

  Example:

    # Trade type.
    class TradeType(Enum):
      BUY = 1
      SELL = 2
      SHORT = 3

  exist by passing the name of the message in to the constructor instead
  of a message class.  Resolution of the actual type of the message is
  deferred until it is needed, for example, during message verification.
  Names provided to the constructor must refer to a class within the same
  python module as the class that is using it.  Names refer to messages
  relative to the containing messages scope.  For example, the two fields
  of OuterMessage refer to the same message type:

    class Outer(Message):

      inner_relative = MessageField('Inner', 1)
      inner_absolute = MessageField('Outer.Inner', 2)

      class Inner(Message):
        ...

  When resolving an actual type, MessageField will traverse the entire
  scope of nested messages to match a message name.  This makes it easy
  for siblings to reference siblings:

    class Outer(Message):

      class Inner(Message):

        sibling = MessageField('Sibling', 1)

      class Sibling(Message):
        ...

  """Find definition by name in module-space.

  The find algorthm will look for definitions by name relative to a message
  definition or by fully qualfied name.  If no definition is found relative
  to the relative_to parameter it will do the same search against the container
  of relative_to.  If relative_to is a nested Message, it will search its
  message_definition().  If that message has no message_definition() it will
  search its module.  If relative_to is a module, it will attempt to look for
  the containing module and search relative to it.  If the module is a top-level
  module, it will look for the a message using a fully qualified name.  If
  no message is found then, the search fails and DefinitionNotFoundError is
  raised.

  For example, when looking for any definition 'foo.bar.ADefinition' relative to
  an actual message definition abc.xyz.SomeMessage:

    find_definition('foo.bar.ADefinition', SomeMessage)

  It is like looking for the following fully qualified names:

    abc.xyz.SomeMessage. foo.bar.ADefinition
    abc.xyz. foo.bar.ADefinition
    abc. foo.bar.ADefinition
    foo.bar.ADefinition

  When resolving the name relative to Message definitions and modules, the
  algorithm searches any Messages or sub-modules found in its path.
  Non-Message values are not searched.

  A name that begins with '.' is considered to be a fully qualified name.  The
  name is always searched for from the topmost package.  For example, assume
  two message types:

    abc.xyz.SomeMessage
    xyz.SomeMessage

  Searching for '.xyz.SomeMessage' relative to 'abc' will resolve to
  'xyz.SomeMessage' and not 'abc.xyz.SomeMessage'.  For this kind of name,
  the relative_to parameter is effectively ignored and always set to None.

    http://code.google.com/apis/protocolbuffers/docs/proto.html#packages

  Args:
    name: Name of definition to find.  May be fully qualified or relative name.
