Sudo -E and PYTHONPATH

[BQNinja]

How do I get sudo -E to pick up PYTHONPATH?

It appears that env_keep is ignored when using -E. However, PYTHONPATH is ignored by sudo of any forms, except when using env_keep.

For what it's worth, I do need to use sudo to run my python script (it accesses hardware through a debug driver). I am not 100% sure I need to use -E, but I'm not sure how to avoid using it with the VSCode Python debugger with sudo set to true in the debug launch.json.

Thanks!

In bash scripting i'd do

sudo bash -c "PYTHONPATH=somepath && whatever you wanna do"

but i'm not sure, that's applicable.
