Struggling with Zephyr/bluetooth project build in SES 5.34a

Hi,

I'm using the nRF5340 DK and SES 5.34a, nRF Connect SDK v1.4.2. For python, I use pyenv virtual environment for which python is set to 3.9.1.

I am able to build and flash, for example, the peripheral_lbs project after installing all required software and tools using Toolchain Manager.  However, this installs nRF Connect SDK, zephyr, arm compiler etc. under /opt which is not a sustainable structure.  My goal is to have the SDK libraries under something like "network_drive/nRF_SDK/...", my application code under "network_drive/Projects/nordic/..." and ARM toolchain under "network_drive/ARM/<version>/arm-none-eabi/...".  SES is fine for coding the app but I need to be able to build, flash and test everything using the command line.

So, one step at a time...

My first step was to make an exact copy of /opt/nordic.* on a network drive and rename /opt/nordic to /opt/xxxnordic to ensure that nothing is being used from that installation.  In SES, I changed the setting in Tools->Options as shown:

I also installed all the required python modules (as listed in the nRF Connect 3.61 - Getting Started section):

$pip install west
$pip install -r zephyr/scripts/requirements.txt
$pip install -r nrf/scripts/requirements.txt
$pip install -r bootloader/mcuboot/scripts/requirements.txt

Here, "pip" is pip 20.3.3 - the version installed for python 3.9.1.  I then tried to import an nRF SDK project with File->Open nRF SDK Connect Project.  Connect Option settings are:

This fails while building the build files. Log output is:

The error says the python module yaml cannot be found. However, the discovered version of python is 3.9.1 as expected and yaml most certainly is installed in this python version:

$ python

Python 3.9.1 (default, Jan 17 2021, 13:00:31)

[Clang 11.0.0 (clang-1100.0.33.17)] on darwin

Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.

>>> help("modules")

...

appdirs             ensurepip           py_compile          xxsubtype

argparse            enum                pyclbr              yaml

array               errno               pycparser           zipapp

...

Any suggestions?
