I could not get the tensorflow Variables to work because of protobuf incompatibility. Appreciate if someone can suggest how to fix it.
The following is the error:
$ python a.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "a.py", line 20, in <module>
a = tf.Variable(tf.zeros(2))
File "/opt/miniconda3/lib/python3.8/site-packages/tensorflow/python/util/traceback_utils.py", line 153, in error_handler
raise e.with_traceback(filtered_tb) from None
File "/opt/miniconda3/lib/python3.8/site-packages/tensorflow/python/ops/resource_variable_ops.py", line 177, in _variable_handle_from_shape_and_dtype
handle_data.shape_and_type.append(
AttributeError: 'google.protobuf.pyext._message.RepeatedCompositeCo' object has no attribute 'append'
(base) Auto-Surprise$
and the code is
import tensorflow as tf
a = tf.Variable(tf.zeros(2))
$ pip list | grep tensorflow
tensorflow 2.7.0
tensorflow-estimator 2.7.0
$ pip list | grep protobuf
protobuf 4.21.1
