Summary

Hi there,

We're using both Streamlit and Protocol Buffers in our Python project.
Recently, we encountered the following error:

The conflict is caused by:
    The user requested protobuf==5.26.1
    streamlit 1.34.0 depends on protobuf<5 and >=3.20

It seems Streamlit is locking the protobuf library to the range [3.20, 5).

Could you update Streamlit to allow using a newer protobuf library?

Thank you.

@nghialv thanks for reporting this issue. We are planning to allow protobuf 5, but there are still a few issues we need to investigate. You can follow the progress here: #8627

@LukasMasuch Thanks for your reply. Great to hear that.

We just merged #8627. Streamlit 1.36 will allow protobuf v5.
