Well, I have been successful in this! For my wrapper module, I implemented
a very simple custom EasyBlock ("scdms_release.py"), which provides an extra
EasyConfig parameter to specify the diretory, and overloads the base
function make_module_dep().
Besides the usual sanity checking, this function is really quite simple:
def make_module_dep(self, unload_info=None):
txt = ''
[...]
txt += self.module_generator.prepend_paths('MODULEPATH',
cdmsreleasedir, allow_abs=True)
txt += super(EB_scdms_minus_release, self).make_module_dep()
return txt
When I implemented this and built the module, I was able to load it in a
clean session without pointing to the "extra" module path.
The same wrapper module also loaded successfully into our HPRC OnDemand
Jupyter session. Now I have to figure out why our Python packages aren't
being found, but that's an easier problem to solve.
Many thanks to Kenneth and to Ake for their help and suggestions!
