Error when importing tensorflow

I am having this error on importing tensorflow v0.12 on Ubuntu 16.04.

cortana@cortana:~$ python

Reading other similar questions, I removed protobuf and tensorflow and installed again. I am still having these errors. What should I try now?

Protobuf: '3.1.0'
Tensorflow: r0.12
CUDA: 8.0.44

This is because of protobuf version conflict: for me i had python-protobuf v2.6.1 installed from apt-get package manager and while installing tensorflow it installed protobuf v3.3.0 from pip manager

To check version of protobuf from aptitude

aptitude versions python-protobuf

To check version of protobuf from pip

pip show protobuf

so i uninstalled both:

sudo pip uninstall protobuf
sudo apt-get remove python-protobuf

Reinstalled using pip and it solved the issue!!!

sudo pip install protobuf

Hope this helps..
