Retaining original path when using PYAPP_EXEC_SCRIPT

[mortenee]

I did some testing of the new PYAPP_EXEC_SCRIPT option(with PYAPP_EXEC_SCRIPT=~/bin/PWXtract/bin/main.py --force --root ~/bin/PWXtract) . It works really well except for one thing.
When running a script like this the path is changed and in my test case gives /home/pwb/.cache/pyapp/scripts/11235863200305506371/main.py rather than /home/pwb/bin/PWXtract/bin/main.py
Is there any way of disabling the caching (or otherwise) so that the original path is retained? Which would also work after moving the full directory of code files and pyapp binary to a new path?
Exporting the path of the pyapp binary to an environmental path on execution would also work as a workaround.

Thanks a lot for making this by the way :)

For the workaround you mentioned, does this suffice? https://ofek.dev/pyapp/latest/config/#installation-indicator

It does! Having this as the script file launching the actual script worked rather nicely :)

import os
import sys
import runpy
import site
import subprocess
from pathlib import Path

bin_dir = Path(os.environ["PYAPP"]).parent.absolute()
project_dir = bin_dir.parent
libs_dir = Path(bin_dir, "libs")
req_file = Path(project_dir, "requirements.txt")

libs_dir.mkdir(parents=True, exist_ok=True)
if len(os.listdir(libs_dir)) == 0:
    print("Installing missing dependencies...")
    cmd = [sys.executable, "-m", "pip", "install", "--target", libs_dir, "-r", req_file]
    proc = subprocess.Popen(cmd, stdout=subprocess.DEVNULL, stderr=subprocess.PIPE, universal_newlines=True)
    result = proc.communicate()[1]
    if "ERROR:" in result:
        print(result)
        sys.exit()

site.ENABLE_USER_SITE = True
site.addsitedir(libs_dir)
site.addsitedir(bin_dir)

runpy.run_path("main.py", run_name="__main__")
