The Issue

Snakemake v8+ changes the way the directory is cached. This causes error messages related to any local imports of the PyPSA-USA scripts directory. This can be fixed 2 ways:

1. Temp fix: import the directory path to the system $PYTHONPATH in the terminal: export PYTHONPATH="/scratch/htc/oet/044_kinetics/pypsa-usa/workflow/scripts:$PYTHONPATH"

2. Permanent fix: add the directory path during script execution sys.path.insert(0, os.path.dirname(__file__)) in each affected file
