python - AttributeError: Assignment not allowed to composite field "task" in protocol message object

Question

I'm using protocol-buffers python lib to send data,but it's have some problems, so

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "test_message.py", line 17, in <module>
    ptask.task = task
  File "builddist.win32egggoogleprotobufinternalpython_message.py", line
513, in setter
AttributeError: Assignment not allowed to composite field "_task" in protocol message object.

the src as follows:

proto file:

message task {
    required int32 id = 1;
    required string msg = 2;
}

message task_info {
    required task task = 1;
}

python code:

task = yacc.task()
task.id = 1000
task.msg = u"test"
ptask = yacc.task_info() 
ptask.task = task # this line happen the runtime error

Try CopyFrom:

ptask.task.CopyFrom(task)
