"protobuf requires Python '>=3.7' but the running Python is 3.6.4"

Dear community, I'm using CARLA simulator and for that I need to use python 3.6 and protobuf. When I want to install 'protobuf' I get this error "protobuf requires Python '>=3.7' but the running Python is 3.6.4" Does anyone know what to do?

    Update your Python to >= 3.7 since CARLA should also be compatible with that version. [see under C.](https://carla.readthedocs.io/en/latest/start_quickstart/) – Anjo Jan 11 '23 at 09:30
  • Python 3.6 is [out of support](https://devguide.python.org/versions/). Protobuf isn't the only package that no longer supports it. Upgrade to a supported version, preferably 3.10. – Panagiotis Kanavos Jan 11 '23 at 09:39

  • That's not a real solution - Python 3.6 is out of support. Many packages have dropped support for this already. Protobuf may work but then something else will break – Panagiotis Kanavos Jan 11 '23 at 09:40
  • I don't think you have any choice but to install the version that works in version 3.6. Others are incompatible. – Özkan ŞEN Jan 12 '23 at 12:03
