Thank you for answers. It works when i downgrade these two packages, it is a temporary problem due to pysyft developers.

!pip install syft=="0.2.2a1"
!pip install syft_proto=="0.1.1a1.post17"

It looks the module you are trying to use is either deprecated or has a new version. See here the file is not active.

Try searching if a newer version of this protocol exists or any similar protocol that can cater to your needs.

Edit:

It may also be that you are using an older version Syft and so I recommend you to upgrade your pip and Syft. Follow the instructions here

you can upgrade both to their latest version which are kept compatible!

!pip install --upgrade syft
!pip install --upgrade syft_proto
