proto file

[Antony Samarawickrema]

The issue:
I have been trying to run the "import tensorflow" command in python. But, that runs into an error stating that the command "couldn't build proto file into descriptor pool."

The platform:
Python 3.6.8, 64 bit, on pyenv virtual environment. Ubuntu 18.10.
CUDA 9.1 CUDNN 7.1

Code:
`conda create -n tf-n-gpu # other versions tested were: 2.0.0.a, 1.14. & 1.15

conda activate tf-n-gpu

pip install tf-nightly-gpu --user

pip install tf-hub-nightly--user

pip install absl-py --user

python

import tensorflow `

ErrorType:
`Invalid proto descriptor for file "tensorboard/compat/proto/resource_handle.proto":

`pip uninstall protobuf

pip install protobuf==3.4.0 # other versions tested were: 3.5.1, and also pip install protobuf== no-binary protobuf protobuf
