A meta package to be connected to Google services
Decision gist · record as of 2026-08-14
No, not recommended. The package is a meta package with no runtime dependencies and unclear purpose. Combined with aging maintenance (last release 2024-10-09), zero community stars, and high install friction, it does not appear actively developed or widely used. Verify the package's actual functionality before installing.AI-flagged interpretation of the facts on this page — verify before relying
