Hello thank you for raising this issue, I confirm you cannot install gspread using system package manager like apt. we do not deploy gspread on apt repository.

the only way is through a venv using pip install gspread.

We could take a look at how to deploy gspread to apt but if we do so, then we should take a look at dnf too pacman too ! So far that's not in our roadmap plan.

closing this issue for now.
