Tell us what’s happening:
Hi!

Im trying to run the set up block and it has issue with this line:

import tensorflow_datasets as tfds

it gives this error:
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If this call came from a _pb2.py file, your generated code is out of date and must be regenerated with protoc 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.
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).

I have tried downgrading protobuf as it suggests but that doesnt help

Your code so far

import libraries

try:

%tensorflow_version only exists in Colab.

!pip install tf-nightly

except Exception:

pass

import tensorflow as tf

import pandas as pd

from tensorflow import keras

!pip install tensorflow-datasets

import tensorflow_datasets as tfds

import numpy as np

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

print(tf.version)

I remember this issue… I’ll try to find the post, but I believe its because there is a line in the imports that is upgrading your code to the latest version with isn’t compatible… Ah found it…

Below is the thread… I believe the issue was an import of tf_nightly… which downloads the most up to date version… which isn’t compatible or something. I just commented that out, and everything else worked fine.

That seemed to have worked! Thank you so much!
