I am trying to programmatically add/update user lists in AdWords, I;ve got to the code so far by following code examples in the docs, but when I try to create a list I get the error TypeError: can't pickle CompiledFFI objects, and I can't work out how to get around it!

from googleads import oauth2


key_file='my_key.json'
application_name = "test"


# Initialize the GoogleRefreshTokenClient using the credentials you received
# in the earlier steps.
oauth2_client = oauth2.GoogleServiceAccountClient(
    key_file, oauth2.GetAPIScope('adwords'))


# Initialize the Ad Manager client.
client = adwords.AdWordsClient(oauth2_client, application_name)


user_list_service = client.GetService('AdwordsUserListService', 'v201809')



user_list = {
      'xsi_type': 'CrmBasedUserList',
      'name': 'Test list #%d' % uuid.uuid4(),
      'description': 'A test list',
      # CRM-based user lists can use a membershipLifeSpan of 10000 to indicate
      # unlimited; otherwise normal values apply.
      'membershipLifeSpan': 30,
      'uploadKeyType': 'CONTACT_INFO'
  }


# Create an operation to add the user list.
operations = [{
    'operator': 'ADD',
    'operand': user_list
}]


result = user_list_service.mutate(operations)

And here is the full error:

Hello Ben,

Looks like the error is related to the Python client library. I recommend you to post your concern on our python client library issue tracker here by creating a new issue. Our client library owners are better equipped to handle such issues.

I had the same issue as Ben,

He created an issue May 2nd, https://github.com/googleads/googleads-python-lib/issues/397.

He didn't seem to receive any response from the team.

So I posted my own Jun, 19th https://github.com/googleads/googleads-python-lib/issues/413

So far nothing either.

Maybe the google ads api team has a more efficient way to reach the python library's team and get some light on the matter. Would be greatly appreciated.
