Same problem !
Has someone managed to solve it ?
In fact, I have installed python 3.6 and keras 2.1.5 with Tensorflow Backend.
When I'm trying to execute the command:
python caffe2keras.py -load_path 'models/' -prototxt 'deepwatermap3_deploy.prototxt' -caffemodel 'deepwatermap3.caffemodel'
I got this error in the file \caffe_pb2.py", line 15
File "C:\Users\utilisateur\AppData\Local\Continuum\anaconda3\lib\site-packages\g oogle\protobuf\descriptor.py", line 829, in __new__ return _message.default_pool.AddSerializedFile(serialized_pb) TypeError: expected bytes, str found
PS: The model I'm trying to convert can be found on http://live.ece.utexas.edu/research/deepwatermap/

Found it !
The problem is the python version
you have to switch to python 2.7 and it'll be fine.
You can look at this link
