Load SCons Tool via absolute path

I have a SCons Tool, which works when I put mytool.py and __init__.py under site_scons/site_tools/mytool.

Now I would like change it to rather be referenced via an absolute path from somewhere else.

So I called it via:

mytoolpath = '/tools/mytool'
env = Environment(tools=['mytool'], toolpath=mytoolpath)

and it excepts with EnvironmentError: No tool named 'mytool': not a Zip file:

mytool.py is located in /tools/mytool so I really do not understand where the problem is. Could someone shed some light.

Turns out this is one of the few places, where strings are not upconverted to lists. So you have to invoke this via:

env = Environment(tools=['mytool'], toolpath=[mytoolpath])
