Error running cromshell due to incompatible protobuf version

[bshifaw]

Description: When running cromshell, the following error occurs: "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 If this call came from a _pb2.py file, your generated code is out of date and must be regenerated with protoc >= 3.19.0." The error message suggests that the issue may be due to an incompatible version of the protobuf package.

Steps to reproduce:

Install cromshell via PYPI. Run cromshell in a terminal or command prompt. Observe the "Descriptors cannot not be created directly" error. Expected behavior: cromshell should run without errors.

Suggested solution: Temporary solution: Updating the google-api-core package seemed to work pip install --upgrade google-api-core Long-term solution: Could add the google-api-core package requirement for cromshell to "google-api-core>=2.11"

$ cromshell
Please update the cromwell server in the following config file /home/jupyter/.cromshell/cromshell_config.json

If this call came from a _pb2.py file, your generated code is out of date and must be regenerated with protoc 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 will be much slower).
