pip install gcloud causes python to raise errors #1570
Description
(using a fresh conda env to demonstrate):
conda create -n gcloud-test python=3 -y
source activate gcloud-test
pip install gcloud
python -c "print('hello world')" output:
Error processing line 2 of /Users/jlowin/anaconda/envs/gcloud-test/lib/python3.5/site-packages/googleapis_common_protos-1.1.0-py3.5-nspkg.pth:

hello world
After some trial and error, it looks like the current version of protobuf (3.0.0b2.post1) is causing the problem. Based on the solution to #1304, reverting to a prior version resolves it (or at least suppresses the error):
pip install protobuf==3.0.0b1.post2
python -c "print('hello world')"
clean up:
source deactivate
conda env remove -n gcloud-test -y
