protocol buffer version mismatch on import opendp.smartnoise.core

[jpgoldberg]

In analysis/tutorial_mental_health_in_tech_survey.ipynb I can't get beyond

import opendp.smartnoise.core as sn

I can provide the full logs, but the abbreviated version is

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).

I should note that because I am working on. Apple arm64, I could not use the requirements.txt file as provided. (See #116). So while I understand that the requirements are frozen for the samples and notebooks, it would be nice to freeze on a version that works for macOS arm64.

The SmartNoise Core library is deprecated, please use either the OpenDP Library or SmartNoise SDK!

@joshua-oss @raprasad Is there any reason we can't archive this repository now?

[jpgoldberg]

Thank you, @Shoeboxam. I was beginning to suspect that, but I took the existence of use of it in the notebooks in the repo as evidence otherwise. Archiving this, or putting some highly visible notices around it would definitely be a good idea.

[joshua-oss]

I actually thought we had archived this, since we have been putting samples in the main repo.
