I am trying to use the pycells in Klayout, but somehow the lib imported in the autorun file is not found, though I added that folder location. I must be missing something basic, any ideas?
```ERROR: /foss/pdks/sg13g2/libs.tech/klayout/tech/pymacros/autorun.lym:4: ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'sg13g2_pycell_lib'
  /foss/pdks/sg13g2/libs.tech/klayout/tech/pymacros/autorun.lym:4```

Does it work if you copy `sg13g2_pycell_lib` to `klayout/tech/pymacros`?

Sorry. While you’re waiting on advice from someone who actually knows what they’re doing, you might try copying to `$HOME/.klayout/pymacros` or `$HOME/.klayout/python`

Still no luck. I also tried running the `__init__` file in `sg13g2_pycell_lib` directly, but then its dependencies in a parallel directory also do not get resolved. I must be missing something basic or something's broken, may have to do with the fact that I am running things in the tool container. Would be interesting to hear from someone who has gotten this to work or understands the the inner workings of Klayout better.

I only did simulations in xschem so far, I really need to get started in KLayout doing a layout in SG13G2.

<@U01GLU3UDRD><@U01RSNFAM55> If you need a fix in the Docker image please let me know.

<@U01RSNFAM55> <@U02UAUGSQ22> please try to run klayout using this command
`KLAYOUT_HOME= &lt;your_location&gt;/IHP-Open-PDK/ihp-sg13g2/libs.tech/klayout klayout -e`

Thank you <@U069XNVQM4H>, this solves the problem. <@U02UAUGSQ22>, would be good to set `KLAYOUT_HOME=$PDKPATH/libs.tech/klayout`  in the container.
