TypeError: Descriptors cannot not be created directly-CodePudding

I tried to install ray but it gave 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If this call came from a _pb2.py file, your generated code is out of date and must be regenerated with protoc 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 tried to solve the problem and downgraded protobuf

Name: protobuf
Version: 3.20.0
Summary: Protocol Buffers

Required-by: ray, tensorboard, tensorflow

but still problem persists in ray, tf and keras, my application isn't working any more. help:(

I found the same problem but I follow the instructions on the websites:

https://packaging.python.org/en/latest/

https://github.com/pypa/packaging.python.org

[ Steps ]:

[ Requirements ]:
sphinx==4.3.1
sphinx-autobuild==0.7.1
sphinx-inline-tabs==2021.4.11b9
python-docs-theme==2021.5
sphinx-copybutton==0.4.0

1. python -V
Python 3.8.10

2. protoc.exe --version 
libprotoc 3.21.0-rc2

3. pip install git https://github.com/pypa/pypa-docs-theme.git#egg=pypa-docs-theme

4. complie libraries

5. copy complied library from F:\temp\Python\protoc\packaging.python.org\protobuf\Debug to F:\temp\Python\protoc\packaging.python.org\protobuf\src

In my case I did not have protobuf explicitly in my requirements.txt but I did have a related dependency which was apparently problematic:

googleapis-common-protos==1.6.0 # depends on protobuf

REMOVING this allowed the subsequent pip install -e . (assuming setup.py is present) to go with whatever google-api-core==1.13.0 had for dependencies. That resulted in the installation of googleapis-common-protos==1.56.2 and resolved the error.
