@EaganVP - Our team maintains the buf-examples repository, which holds any example code that doesn't merit its own repository. We use a pretty normal dependabot task to maintain its dependencies, and this PR (created by dependabot) provided a lesson about the BSR that I wanted to pass along.

You'll learn more about this over the coming weeks, but in a nutshell:

  1. Without the BSR or the Buf CLI, anyone who wants to generate code from Protobuf files needs to use protoc and local binaries (protoc "plugins") to generate code, like Python types for messages in the Proto.
  2. With the BSR or the CLI, you can use remote code generation to let the BSR handle code generation for you: no need to install/maintain local binaries.
  3. With the BSR, you don't even have to know how to use remote code generation via a buf.gen.yaml. If you want the standard options, you can just download pregenerated code: a "generated SDK," installable via pip, npm, Gradle, etc.

In the Python examples in this repository, we use such generated SDKs to depend on Python code for Protovalidate via requirements.txt files:

bufbuild-protovalidate-protocolbuffers-pyi==32.0.0.1.20250912141014+52f32327d4b0

The version used here needs to match the underlying version of the Protobuf Python library itself. In response to a vulnerability in that library, dependabot's commit for this PR updates the Protobuf library to 6.33.5:

protobuf==6.33.5

This caused a mismatch: protobuf 6.33.5 isn't compatible with Protovalidate's generated SDK for Python version 32.0.

Therefore, my commit to this PR:

  1. Updates protobuf to 6.33.5 for all four Python examples in this repo
  2. Updates the Python generated SDKs to compatible versions.

Testing/verification:

  1. The CI task on this PR should pass.
  2. You can verify it yourself by cloning this repo, changing to this branch, and running make ci.

Bumps protobuf from 6.32.0 to 6.33.5.
