[Bug]: When running Forge in Colab, the program displays the message " from wandb.proto.wandb_telemetry_pb2 import Imports as TelemetryImports ImportError: cannot import name 'Imports' from 'wandb.proto.wandb_telemetry_pb2' (/usr/local/lib/python3.12/dist-packages/wandb/proto/wandb_telemetry_pb2.py)" and then the program terminates.

INCOMPATIBLE PYTHON VERSION

This program is tested with 3.10.6 Python, but you have 3.12.12.
If you encounter an error with "RuntimeError: Couldn't install torch." message,
or any other error regarding unsuccessful package (library) installation,
please downgrade (or upgrade) to the latest version of 3.10 Python
and delete current Python and "venv" folder in WebUI's directory.

You can download 3.10 Python from here: https://www.python.org/downloads/release/python-3106/

Use --skip-python-version-check to suppress this warning.

I had the same issue, but I don't believe the correct solution was given here. But maybe this might save someone's day :)
I solved it by upgrading open-clip-torch 2.20.0, upgrading wandb 3.20.2 and DOWNgrading protobuf 5.something in the requirements_versions.txt like so :

Please note: (After install fails) make sure to uninstall all three mentioned packages first. Good luck (y)

open-clip-torch==2.23.0
wandb==0.25.1
protobuf==4.25.5
