Recently (probably after a system upgrade), I have been getting an error running:
nitropy nk3 secrets get-password $PWID
Traceback (most recent call last):

If this call came from a _pb2.py file, your generated code is out of date and must be regenerated with protoc 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).
More information: https://developers.google.com/protocol-buffers/docs/news/2022-05-06#python-updates
On one hand, I can simply set export PROTOCOL_BUFFERS_PYTHON_IMPLEMENTATION=python on my system and everything works, however I would like to resolve the issue and based on the file-paths it seems like this might be something that should be solved by pynitrokey.
