Description

Protobuf made a new release https://pypi.org/project/protobuf/#history on Nov 27, 2024. It's breaking the tests.

In which platform does it happen?

How do we replicate the issue?

https://github.com/recommenders-team/recommenders/actions/runs/12100479486/job/33739131547

Expected behavior (i.e. solution)

I expect Google to test their libraries before making a release.
