Getting the same error - Python 2.7.11, OS X 10.11.1

[nborrmann]

I had the same issue once. A mixture of killing all running python process and reinstalling protobuf did the job.

I was able to fix this by using sudo -H

[ajnachakra]

Yeah... I'm not going to run the process as root, that's asking for trouble =P

[qwerty0123]

I understand that, I'm running this on an old mac that I don't really care about. If you find another way to get around it let me know please!

[qwerty0123]

actually, try sudo -H pip uninstall -r requirements.txt and then sudo -H pip install --ignore-installed -r requirements.txt

You may be able to not use sudo -H I don't know though
