Clearify execution of solverdummy, if bindings are installed via pip
At the current state the solverdummy can only be used, if a user clones the python bindings from this repository (at least that's what our documentation says). However, the recommended installation procedure is to use pip.
The questions that we should try to answer in this issue are the following:
- Is it also possible to execute the solverdummy, if the python bindings were installed using pip (and only pip)?
- If yes: How? This should go into the documentation.
- If no: We should make it possible. If we recommend our users to use pip, they should also get the full features of the bindings.
Some possible ways how the solverdummy could be run/shipped
- see https://github.com/precice/config-visualizer for shipping the example as an "executable". Thanks for the suggestion @fsimonis.
- see https://www.geeksforgeeks.org/command-line-scripts-python-packaging/ for shipping a command line script.
