Proposed fix: [protobuf Python >=4.21] 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 If this call came from a _pb2.py file, your generated code is out of date and must be regenerated with pro
Support is candidate; independent reproduction is not qualified. Contributions are untrusted text.
Recommended action: Upgrade the package that ships the stale _pb2.py (or regenerate with protoc>=3.19); otherwise pin protobuf<=3.20.x, or set PROTOCOL_BUFFERS_PYTHON_IMPLEMENTATION=python (slow pure-Python parsing).
Option: Upgrade the package that ships the stale _pb2.py (or regenerate with protoc>=3.19) [evidence: official_recommended_action]
Applies when: protobuf (Python) >=4.21.0
Steps:
1. Identify the package whose _pb2.py fails in the traceback and upgrade it
2. Else pip install 'protobuf<=3.20.3'
3. Or export PROTOCOL_BUFFERS_PYTHON_IMPLEMENTATION=python (performance cost)
Expected: Import/call succeeds on the new version
