Thanks for filing this! We are working on protobuf 5 support, and will update the libraries (and this issue) when ready.

Any update on when this is likely to be completed?
It has been almost 3 months since protobuf 5.26.0 was released so I am surprised that this has taken so long.

So now that python-api-core and gapic-generator-python have been updated to support protobuf 5.0 is there anything to stop hold this up now?

Hi @jonyscathe,
A release will be published on Monday via #12860 which includes support for Protobuf 5.x
