Python protobuf “from google.protobuf.pyext import _message” - “ImportError: DLL load failed: The specified procedure could not be found”

Question

I\'m trying to get a simple Python script up to convert protobuf files into json files (required format for what I\'m doing at work).

I\'ve seen some recommendations

Answer 1

I struggled with this error when I started to play with TensorFlow 2 and Keras. After almost two hours trying to solve the error, this combination worked: - python 3.6.8 (3.6.0 didn't work) - pip 20.0.2 - protobuf 3.8.0 (3.6 didn't worked for me, maybe because TensorFlow 2)

Answer 2

the solution is to downgrade your protobuf to 3.6.0 instead of 3.6.1
