pip install gcloud is broken :(

[jgeewax]

Looks like installing gives some proto errors on fresh Ubuntu 15.10.... can we fix ASAP?

/cc @dhermes @tseaver as this is kinda a blocker :(

[dhermes]

I filed protocolbuffers/protobuf#1056 yesterday. The protobuf folks made a busted release, no idea why.

[dhermes]

Updated setup.py in d11980f to pin on protobuf==3.0.0a3.

You can get it installed by installing protobuf first and then installing our library:

pip install protobuf==3.0.0a3
pip install gcloud

We need to cut a release soon anyhow, but you should poke someone who works on protobuf to look at that issue.

[jgeewax]

Got it -- can we pin to <= 3.0.0a3 in the meantime?

[jgeewax]

....aaand I just finished reading your whole comment. Ignore me :)

[dhermes]

Already updated setup.py (see above) but it doesn't change existing releases

[dhermes]

Haha ditto. Like phone tag

[jgeewax]

Got it -- sent a request to someone on the proto team who hopefully can help sort out protocolbuffers/protobuf#1056

[dhermes]

This is fixed now.

[vijaypalmanit]

still not resolved for me, although i followed the same steps

[daspecster]

Glad to hear you got it working @vijaypalmanit.
