when i try to initialize it i get:

```python
import pydgraph.client
pydgraph.client.DgraphClient("localhost", 8001)

```

`ImportError: No module named 'graphresponse_pb2'`

but if change the cwd like this:  
!cd /usr/local/lib/python3.5/dist-packages/pydgraph

everything works

```python
pydgraph.client.DgraphClient("localhost", 8001)

```

Hi,

Where do you change the CWD? I am getting the same error.

Python 3 import should now work properly. For example, refer the README.
