.env not loaded automatically

[jonathanlastmileai]

I don't know if this is expected behavior, but I have to call load_dotenv() otherwise I get this:

result.result.UnwrapError: CalledResult.unwrap()on anErrvalue: "Missing API key 'OPENAI_API_KEY' in environment"

Repro:

Follow the pydata demo steps.

• Put .env in working directory
• run this

  
  from aiconfig import AIConfigRuntime, InferenceOptions
  import asyncio

config = AIConfigRuntime.load("pydata.aiconfig.yaml")

inference_options = InferenceOptions(stream=True)

async def main(): query_question = input() print("thinking...") await config.run("sql-generator", params = {"function" : query_question}, options=inference_options) print("done")

if name=="main": asyncio.run(main())

Yea this is expected behaviour. load_dotenv moves key-value pairs from .env files --> os value, so you can also do .zshrc file if you want to permanently add it there forever. We just need to ensure that the api keys are uploaded to the os environment

OK, just need to point out that at least some of our demos don't have the loading code, e.g. pydata. cc @andrew-lastmile
