Possibly related to Python2.7? I would try running it with Python 3+

same issue. In method wrapInRequest self.authTicket have value None. (Python 2.7.11)

just uninstall protobuff
and install the version mentioned in requirements
protobuf==3.0.0b3

[CognitiveDisson]

pip show protobuf

Metadata-Version: 2.0
Name: protobuf
Version: 3.0.0b3

[CognitiveDisson]

pip install --user -r requirements.txt - this solved my problem

[dnsBlah]

sorry, i assumed you already did :)
please close your issue as well

[CognitiveDisson]

Solution has been precisely in the --user flag. I am not the author of the issue, I can't close
