Transform can not find proj.db

See original GitHub issue

I can no longer perform transformations. The minimum (platform independent) example code is:

docker run -it python bash -c "pip install pyproj && python"
>>> import pyproj
>>> pyproj.transform(pyproj.Proj(init='epsg:4326'), pyproj.Proj(init='epsg:3857'), 0, 0)

This returns: proj_create_operation_factory_context: Cannot find proj.db pj_obj_create: Cannot find proj.db

running with pip install pyproj==1.9.6 works fine though.

ESPECIALLY when used in a containerized environment. Unless its pip installable, no one will use it.

I believe that’s where proj.db would live if you installed a binary wheel with pip, or using conda
