03/14/2023, 3:02 PMDoes Pants (in some way/shape/form) consume dotenvs (https://www.npmjs.com/package/dotenv, https://pypi.org/project/python-dotenv/)?
Use case is that I have several .env files for local/dev/rc/prod cases, and I'd like to build
pex👀 1

03/14/2023, 3:26 PMI'm guessing that's the way, just curious if those can be populated from a .env

03/14/2023, 3:28 PMthink this passage “setting environment variables and executable search paths” is for the pants execution env, not your built pex 😉

03/14/2023, 3:35 PMHmm, didn't work - weird

03/14/2023, 3:36 PMRather, it "worked", but something's going funny at runtime
