I installed `gurobipy` using:

pip install gurobipy

Now I want to configure it to use my license on a Python script.
I have a license installed in a non standard path.
I tried using:

os.environ['GUROBI_HOME'] = "D:/MyPath/Gurobi";
os.environ['GRB_LICENSE_FILE'] = "D:/MyPath/Gurobi/gurobi.lic";

Yet it doesn't seem to work.

How can I configure my PIP installation to use a custom path for a license file?

  Currently it is not possible on Windows due to OS specific handling of environment variables.

  This approach currently only works on Linux and Mac. On Windows you have to set the environment variable outside of Python.
