[GRASS-dev] Package grass installed by pip is not GRASS GIS

[Vaclav Petras]

[was:[GRASS-user] Using grass.script in Jupyter (Azure)]

Dear all,

in less than two days, I have seen two users reporting "I have successfully
installed GRASS using pip" (see e.g. the post to the grass-user list below,
cc'ed).

It is an an unfortunate situation because there is a package called `grass`
unrelated to GRASS GIS project. See:

https://pypi.org/project/grass/

The package installs a executable called `grass` and of course a Python
package called grass. See also:

https://github.com/COMBINE-lab/GRASS

What do you think would be the best course of action?

Thanks,
Vaclav
