proto file, generated code in python and go

Question

I am trying to generate python and go code using same proto file.

My proto file looks like:

message City {
  string name = 1;
  int32 street_no = 2;
}

When I generate the code in python using below command:

python3 -m grpc_tools.protoc  -I proto/ --python_out=openconfig/ --grpc_python_out=openconfig/ proto/city.proto

then the variables names remain in snake_case, but when the proto file is generatd in go code using below:

${PROTOC} --gogofaster_out=proto --proto_path proto proto/city.proto

then the generated variables are in CamelCase. so, street_no changes to StreetNo

Is there any way to convert the python code also in CamelCase instead of snake_case? How to work in different languages with the same proto file?

I tried with protoc as well as below:

${PROTOC} --python_out=proto --proto_path proto/city.proto

still, it generates the python code in snake_case.

Thanks,

Protobufs are generated in the standard formatting of the given language (aka CamelCase for Go and snake_case for Python. If it generated a different way, you would have linter flags for having CamelCase in Python. Is there any reason that the variables need to have the same name in the different languages?
