Research direction

Start by reading the current path-generation and environment-handling entry points in sdss_access, then review related issue sdss/tree#142. Determine how multiple releases are represented in one Python session and how the tree is currently replanted. Done means paths for multiple releases can be generated without overriding os.environ or replanting the tree.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

Support the use of generating paths from multiple data releases within the same python session without overriding your os.environ. Without replanting the tree. Related to https://github.com/sdss/tree/issues/142.
