PstFrom: pass arguments for commands executed with os.system?

[nikobenho]

So there might already be a solution for this that I haven't been able to discover.

Up until recently I've always used PyEMU with a single model in a flat directory structure (model files and pest files all bunched together).

Experimenting with different MF6 capabilities in a current project I've got the following structure:

master_dir/
│
├── gwf/
├── gwt/
├── prt1/
└── prt2/

I've got a single instance of the mf6 binary and all pest-related stuff in the master_dir and use the cwd="" command to call mf6 in the different subdirs according to the order above.

Now the issue is that PstFrom doesn't allow me to pass the arguments cwd="./gwf", cwd="./gwt", e.t.c., which instead requires manual editing of the forward_run script. This isn't a big deal - just more of a convenience issue (forgetful as I can be).

Is there a way to pass arguments to commands run with os.system that I've missed or another convenient way to write lines to the forward_run script at the location of mod_sys_cmds?

Idk if this is the best way to do it, but the way I've done this is to make a function that uses pyemu.os_utils.run() with the cwd args as needed. Then add that function via add_py_function() with is_pre_cmd = None and make that function the forward run command...clear as mud?

Yes, thanks!
