Updating the pubsub client breaks because it needs a newer version of protobuf #48
Description
Environment details
- OS type and version: Windows 10
- Python version: 3.6.9
- pip version: 20.0.2
google-api-coreversion: 1.16.0
Steps to reproduce
- Install google-cloud-pubsub==1.6.0 and protobuf==3.10.0
- Import the PushConfig object to create a push topic
Quick fix
Reinstalling protobuf fixes this issue, to my knowledge, 3.12 seems enough.

I didn't fill this issue in the pubsub repository because the protobuf dependency lies here.

Same issue, but what I installed
google-cloud-pubsub==1.6.0
googleapis-common-protos==1.5.2
protobuf in sources has 3.8.0
atm googleapis-common-protos is the latest version, guess it also needs to be updated with latest protobuf.
fix(dependencies): increase protobuf version (#49)
chore: release 1.20.1 (#51)

@busunkim96 thanks for the fix! would it be possible to yank the 1.20.0 release?
i have a pinned version of protobuf and my dependency resolver thinks 1.20.0 is safe to upgrade to.

@hauntsaninja Done! (I didn't realize "yanking" had been added to PyPI).

Awesome, thanks!
