Python Code Gen Problem

Objectives

1. Define services and DTOs in Protobuf
2. Generate code with Buf, maintaining easy separation of generated vs application code
3. Require no post-processing of generated Python to "fix" import paths

How to use

The code is already generated in gen/proto/python so all that remains is to run the code.

python3 main.py

Should fail like so:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/Users/user/go/src/github.com/jbendotnet/python-codegen-problem/main.py", line 2, in <module>
