Bug Description
This isn't so much an issue with tooz as with the etcd3 dependency. The etcd3-based tests are currently failing with the following error message:
Failed to import test module: tooz.tests.
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/lib/
module = self._get_

TypeError: Descriptors cannot not be created directly.
If this call came from a _pb2.py file, your generated code is out of date and must be regenerated with protoc 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_
Clearly something needs to be fixed in etcd3 itself but etcd3 is unmaintained [1] and the driver itself has been deprecated in tooz [2][3]. We probably want to cap protobuf<4.0 until we can finally remove this driver.

protobuf was capped to <4.0 by https:/ /review. opendev. org/c/openstack /tooz/+ /847949 . The driver has been removed so I'll close this bug.
