Hello all,

It is possible to load custom python packages in the workflow by calling openstudio like so:

openstudio --python_path /path_to_python_packages run --workflow wkfl.osw

However I'd like to do this without adding the --python_path argument, I've tried a few things

1. Setting the PYTHONPATH environment variable, this doesn't work for a OpenStudio workflow I believe its something to do with the OpenStudio source code
2. Using the code in the measure

sys.path.insert(0, '/root/.pyenv/versions/3.12.3/lib/python3.12/site-packages')

where /root/.pyenv/versions/3.12.3/lib/python3.12/site-packages is the path to the custom python packages which we want to use in the measure this does work and I'm inclined to use something like this as a solution

Is there a better way then 2.? Or perhaps I'm missing something here?

I'd also like to ask what is the correct way to load custom python modules into a python measure on the OpenStudio server.

Thank you!
