pass extra sys.path to jupyter kernel through command line

[julien.s...@gmail.com]

Hello list,

I'm looking for a way to add an extra module search path to a kernel through it's command line.

I know we can pass these kinds of arguments, for example:
--InlineBackend.figure_formats={"png", "pdf"}
But I did not find one that could affect the kernel sys.path to circumvent an ImportError.

For info, I would like to use the nbsphinx_execute_arguments option of nbsphinx to add a path to a generated module ;
this module's sys.path can be added to sphinx's conf.py but unfortunately this is not taken into account when nbsphinx runs the kernel to execute the cells.

I don't think there's a command line option, but you can do it with the PYTHONPATH environment variable:
