I cloned the repo and tried a simple keyword search, but got the error

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "getapps.py", line 5, in <module>
    import market_proto
  File "/home/me/androidmarket/market_proto.py", line 3, in <module>
    from google.protobuf import descriptor
ImportError: No module named google.protobuf

I assume this is because I don't have the java android-market-api installed in the right place? Do I just dump that in the same folder as android-market-api-py? Or should this work?

As mentioned in the "Requirements" section in the readme you have to install protobuf for python. Use either easy_install or pip to install it.
