[GRASS-user] Building grass version grass-7.8.5

[Moritz Lennert]

Actually, the trailing comma after **kwargs is a feature introduced in recent Python 3 versions. It was recently introduced into our code through Black [1].

So, make sure you have Python 3.6+ installed on your system and that this is the Python version called during compilation.
