protobuf requires Python '>=3.7' but the running Python is 3.6.8 (2 replies)

Hi,
I'm trying to install mysql-connector-python on Centos7 which has Python 3.6.8 installed.

pip3 install mysql-connector-python

results with:
protobuf requires Python '>=3.7' but the running Python is 3.6.8

How to overcome that issue?

Thanks much, OE
