* Changing the environment before calling source block?

Hi,

I have multiple versions of each of various languages such as Python
or R.  On the command line I can select a version using the 'module'[1]
mechanism provided by Lmod[2]:

  module load Python/2.7.18-GCCcore-9.3.0

or 

  module load Python/3.8.6-GCCcore-10.2.0
 
This 'module' mechanism basically just provides a sane way to tweak and
untweak environment variables.

My question is: How do I change the environment, ideally call 'module
load ...' but potentially just set environment variables, before calling
a source block?

Cheers,

Loris

It depends on source block language.  For Python, there is :python
header arg where you can specify python command to be used.  I am not
sure about R

More generally, you can advice org-babel-execute-src-block and wrap it
into something like with-environment-variables macro (available in
newest Emacs).

Or you can write a bash source block, set envitonment there as usual,
and invoke your Python/R script using noweb.

Hope it helps.

Best,
Ihor
