    $\begingroup$ How about mathkernel -run '$Path=...' ? $\endgroup$ Commented Dec 15, 2016 at 17:23
  • $\begingroup$ There are two environment variables that can be used for this, MATHEMATICA_BASE and MATHEMATICA_USERBASE. With them I think you should be able to achieve what you want, although they are not exactly the same thing as PYTHONPATH. Both are documented here $\endgroup$ Commented Dec 15, 2016 at 19:10
  • $\begingroup$ @AlbertRetey: Thanks for the pointer. After experimenting a bit with MATHEMATICA_BASE and MATHEMATICA_USERBASE, however, I concluded that Mathematica interprets them sufficiently differently from what I have in mind that decided to go with a different solution. (I've posted this solution as an answer, below.) $\endgroup$ Commented Dec 15, 2016 at 22:10
