class Message(six.with_metaclass(_MessageClass, 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
        CALL = 4

      class Lot(Message):
        price = IntegerField(1, required=True)
        quantity = IntegerField(2, required=True)

      class Order(Message):
        symbol = StringField(1, required=True)
        total_quantity = IntegerField(2, required=True)
        trade_type = EnumField(TradeType, 3, required=True)
        lots = MessageField(Lot, 4, repeated=True)
        limit = IntegerField(5)

      order = Order(symbol='GOOG',
                    total_quantity=10,
                    trade_type=TradeType.BUY)

      lot1 = Lot(price=304,
                 quantity=7)

      lot2 = Lot(price = 305,
                 quantity=3)

    Message fields contain instance of other messages.  Instances stored
    on messages stored on message fields  are considered to be owned by
    the containing message instance and should not be shared between
    owning instances.

    Message fields must be defined to reference a single type of message.
    Normally message field are defined by passing the referenced message
    class in to the constructor.

    It is possible to define a message field for a type that does not
    yet 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)

    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.
