    Okay, I was able to reproduce this in virtualenv by installing protobuf==2.6.1

    The short answer is that we depend on protobuf 3.0.0, and having the protobuf pip library installed seems to interfere with ours.

    Two solutions:

    1. pip install protobuf=3.0.0a1 or higher, then pip install tensorflow
    2. pip uninstall protobuf first, and then install tensorflow again -- it should bring in the dependency

    I was able to do both in virtualenv and they worked -- let me know if either suffices for you. We might add protobuf >= 3 to our whl dependencies if so.

    Tensorflow does not bring dependency on protobuf:

    Unless I am missing something, neither of the solutions work for me. Latest OS X, python2 + python3 installed from Homebrew.

    This fixed the problem for me:

    pip uninstall protobuf
pip uninstall tensorflow
brew uninstall protobuf
pip install https://storage.googleapis.com/tensorflow/mac/tensorflow-0.5.0-py2-none-any.whl

    flyingmutant: to appease my curiosity, can you let us know what you get when you do the following in python:

    import google.protobuf
>>> print google.protobuf.__version__
3.0.0a4

    (it's possible google.protobuf.version doesn't exist either in one of the environments I've tested).

    Basically the symptom of the problem is that python is finding the older version of the protobuf library that doesn't support the generated python proto3 we require.

    This issue (pypa/pip#3165) has more insight into the same. And according to this its the issue with six library being preinstalled in El Captain systems.

    Moreover there seems to be no solution as of now except installing python locally using brew rather than using pre-installed package by Apple.

    @vrv I've got AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute '__version__' for both 3.0.0a1 and 3.0.0a3 (which is the latest you can install with pip).

    I've found what fixes the issue for me:

    $ brew uninstall protobuf
$ pip uninstall protobuf
$ pip install 'protobuf>=3.0.0a3'
$ pip install https://storage.googleapis.com/tensorflow/mac/tensorflow-0.5.0-py2-none-any.whl

    It appears that Homebrew's protobuf package was causing the issues. Removing it, then installing protobuf3 with pip does the trick.

    For the protobuf issue above on OS X, not only should you pip uninstall protobuf to get rid of protobuf 2.x, but make sure you brew uninstall protobuf if you are using homebrew.

    @VikramTiwari : that is a different issue, already addressed in the "common problems" section of the 'Get Started' page

    By the way, if you would like to use homebrew, you can install protobuf 3 via:

    brew install --devel protobuf

    For more details please refer to grpc/grpc-experiments#162

    I was able to solve this by doing brew reinstall --devel protobuf, which installs 3.0.0a1. Feel free to close the issue whenever you update the docs.
