I am trying to run streamlit under Ubuntu and get the following error:
streamlit
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/home/ubuntu/.local/bin/streamlit", line 5, in <module>

TypeError: Descriptors cannot not be created directly.
If this call came from a _pb2.py file, your generated code is out of date and must be regenerated wi th protoc >= 3.19.0.
If you cannot immediately regenerate your protos, some other possible workarounds are:
1. Downgrade the protobuf package to 3.20.x or lower.
2. Set PROTOCOL_BUFFERS_PYTHON_IMPLEMENTATION=python (but this will use pure-Python parsing and wil l be much slower).
More information: https://developers.google.com/protocol-buffers/docs/news/2022-05-06#python-updates
But I already have protocbuf 4.20.x installed.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks
I am running into the same problem. According to google doc, there is a need to set an environment variable to make it work.
Set PROTOCOL_BUFFERS_PYTHON_IMPLEMENTATION=python
but there seems to be no place where i can set it.
I encountered the same problem and avoided it by installing the compatible version of protobuf:
pip install 'protobuf~=3.19.0'
To deploy it on Streamlit Cloud, I added a line to requirements.txt:
# 1.4 introduced the functionality found in python 3.8's importlib.metadata module
importlib-metadata = ">=1.4"
numpy = "*"
packaging = "*"
pandas = ">=0.21.0"
pillow = ">=6.2.0"
# protobuf version 3.11 is incompatible, see https://github.com/streamlit/streamlit/issues/2234
protobuf = ">=3.6.0, !=3.11"
pyarrow = "*"
pydeck = ">=0.1.dev5"
pympler = ">=0.9"
python-dateutil = "*"
requests = "*"
toml = "*"
# 5.0 has a fix for etag header: https://github.com/tornadoweb/tornado/issues/2262
tornado = ">=5.0"
tzlocal = "*"
validators = "*"
Any updates on this?
I would love to use streamlit together with google ads api, but since most new versions of goolge APIs require protobuf > 4 it is not possible!
I tried using the Set PROTOCOL_BUFFERS_PYTHON_IMPLEMENTATION=python
but this just slows the process way to much to a point where its unusable.
Please fix so we will be able to use streamlit with newer protobuf versions!
Bumping this up again. I want to use streamlit with some Google APIs that require newer versions of protobuf so i cant downgrade to 3.20.x
Any suggestions?
Unless you absolutely need the very latest versions of these Google libraries, these conflicts are usually easy to resolve. If you run in a clean environment:
pip install --upgrade streamlit google-ads
You end up with:
Package Version
------------------------ -----------
google-ads 18.0.0
protobuf 3.20.0
streamlit 1.20.0
... and of course some more packages
…which is not too bad.
The problems or conflicts usually start when you mess around in the local dev environment and manually install packages one by one.
Hey Franky1, thanks for your response.
I have been running in a clean environment , inside a venv.
the issue is when i need to install
streamlit
google-ads
google-cloud-language>=2.6
for the google-cloud-languge, this is not the newest version but the first one that has a new feature i need. This version also creates a conflict between the 3 when it comes to the protobuf version dependency
Do you have plans to upgrade to work with newer versions of protobuf?
this is also an open issue on github that seems to get a lot of requests:
