{PDM_RUN_CWD} placeholder in scripts?

[paugier]

Feature Description

For a project, we use

[tool.pdm.scripts]
create-symlinks = {shell = "python tools/create_symlinks.py $PDM_RUN_CWD"}

However, this solution is not cross-plateform since $PDM_RUN_CWD does not work on Windows.

Could we have a cross-platform solution, maybe something like

create-symlinks = {shell = "python tools/create_symlinks.py {PDM_RUN_CWD}"}

(inspired by {pdm} https://pdm-project.org/latest/usage/scripts/#pdm-placeholder)

Of course, for this particular case, we could also just make create_symlinks.py aware of $PDM_RUN_CWD but it would be less general for us and I would prefer to keep the things related to PDM in PDM scripts.

Problem and Solution

create-symlinks = {shell = "python tools/create_symlinks.py $PDM_RUN_CWD"} is not cross-platform.

Note that we have also cases for which I don't know how to easily overcome this problem, for example:

build-book = {shell = "jupyter-book build $PDM_RUN_CWD/book --warningiserror"}

Here, I cannot teach jupyter-book about PDM_RUN_CWD.
