Fresh 3.9 or 3.11 conda environment with a “pip install cisco_gnmi” and then trying to import cisco_gnmi:

If this call came from a _pb2.py file, your generated code is out of date and must be regenerated with protoc 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

So there seems to be a workaround if we read the error message but I guess that cisco_gnmi could be updated to prevent this error…

Going to commit directly to master unless I can get a code review from someone.
