+# This is a placeholder for python headers. Projects needing to use
+# fast cpp protos in protobuf's python interface should build with
+# --define=use_fast_cpp_protos=true, and in addition, provide
+# //external:python_headers dependency that in turn provides Python.h.
+#
+# Projects that include protobuf using a Bazel external repository will need to
+# add a workspace rule to their WORKSPACE files to add an external workspace
+# that includes the Python headers. For example, the protobuf WORKSPACE file
+# includes the following local_repository rule that points to this directory:
+#
+# new_local_repository(
+#   name = "python",
+#   path = __workspace_dir__ + "/util/python",
+# )
