I work on a project that is distributed among multiple git repos.

For example  
ClassificationTrainerApp (main git repo not installed)

- DataTransformerUtils (installed lib)
- CustomLoggingUtils (installed lib)

Locally I develop using pip install -e on the dependent libs. Is there a way to configure the runtime env to mimic this.

The documentation I have read to configure the runtime\_env using work\_dir and pymodules seems to assume a monorepo type setup.

can you try this?

```auto
import ray
import DataTransformerUtils
import CustomLoggingUtils

ray.init(runtime_env={"py_modules": [DataTransformerUtils, CustomLoggingUtils]})

@ray.remote
def test_my_module():
    # No need to import modules inside this function.
    DataTransformerUtils.f()
    CustomLoggingUtils.g()

ray.get(test_my_module.remote())

```

We should update our docs here… @jascase901, since firsthand feedback from the user is most important, any ideas on where in our docs we should update this?

I think its already here [Environment Dependencies — Ray 2.37.0](https://docs.ray.io/en/latest/ray-core/handling-dependencies.html#library-development) I just missed it.
