TypeError: Descriptors cannot not be created directly.

[expenses]

I'm getting this error when trying to use pysc2. This happens with both the pip install and trying to use it from git.

cli command:

pysc2_replay_info --replay ~/replays/15467fbf7779f05d783c8b384411dfeb.SC2Replay

traceback:

If this call came from a _pb2.py file, your generated code is out of date and must be regenerated with protoc >= 3.19.0.
If you cannot immediately regenerate your protos, some other possible workarounds are:
 1. Downgrade the protobuf package to 3.20.x or lower.
 2. Set PROTOCOL_BUFFERS_PYTHON_IMPLEMENTATION=python (but this will use pure-Python parsing and will be much slower).

same problem.

I met this problem at the first time too. Using python 3.9 and protobuf 3.19.6 can solve it.

To be more specific, this works to me:

pip install protobuf==3.20.0

To be more specific, this works to me:

pip install protobuf==3.20.0

This has also solved my problem! Using python 3.10.5 and pysc2 4.0.0
