The latest protobuf-c https://github.com/protobuf-c/protobuf-c/blob/master/protobuf-c/protobuf-c.h has changed its interface (for example PROTOBUF_C_BEGIN_DECLS is renamed to PROTOBUF_C__BEGIN_DECLS and there are other changes). This leads to pytrace complication failure on distributions shipping newer protobuf-c such as Arch Linux and Debian 8.
Can we consider include a working protobuf-c souce code to solve it?
