GeodePy Review GDAL Dependency

The package dependency on GDAL is making installation with pip a bit of a nightmare. Is GDAL required, or is there an alternative pure-python package we could use?

I remember having difficulty, too. I think I got around it by installing gdal separately and then using pip to install GeodePy once that dependency was met. I agree, though, we want to make this smoother. I'll look into it

@KipCrossing thanks for letting us know about your project. It looks like it might be very useful for us

No worries @harry093 .

noGDAL is just a philosophy and there are many packages that fit the bill, but I assume you are talking about the geotiff python package that I am working on.

@KipCrossing yeah, I think that's our only use for GDAL, reading in GeoTIFFs
