ERROR: Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement protos ERROR: No matching distribution found for protos when trying to install protos

Question

I am trying to install protos using pip install protos but I get following error messages ERROR: Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement protos ERROR: No matching distribution found for protos (these are 2 different lines btw). Does anybody have the same problem because maybe I do not meet the requirements but I the problem is that I don't know which requirements, I just don't find any information. I am using python 3.6.2, pip 20.3.3 and windows 10

Answer 1

The protos package can be found here: https://pypi.org/project/protos/

According to the PyPi page, it requires Python 3.7 or greater. Since you are running Python 3.6 you get the error message when running pip install protos .

If you are looking for Google's protocol buffer, then you should look at pip install protobuf (docs here ).
