Setting Up the PYTHONPATH for Local Development

To make sure the configs module is always available, you can set the PYTHONPATH permanently by adding it to your shell configuration file.

Instructions for macOS/Linux:

1. Open your terminal.

2. Edit your shell configuration file:

   • For bash (default on many systems):

     nano ~/.bashrc

   • For zsh (default on newer macOS versions):

     nano ~/.zshrc

3. Add the following line at the end of the file:

   export PYTHONPATH=$PYTHONPATH:/Users/kushidhar/Projects/project_orion/automation_pytest
