The Python get-started env block shows a `.env` file but never explains that Python does not load it automatically. First-time users who follow the guide verbatim hit missing-credential errors on their first run. Add a short Callout after the `.env` block pointing to python-dotenv (`load_dotenv()`) with a shell `export` alternative. This shared component is imported by the OpenAI SDK, Python SDK, and LangChain get-started pages, so the note appears everywhere the block is shown.

Problem
The Python get-started env block shows a
.envfile with the Langfuse credentials, but nothing on the page explains that Python doesn't load.envautomatically. A first-time user who follows the guide verbatim (python script.py) hits missing-credential errors on their very first run, because the variables were never actually loaded into the environment.Fix
Add a short
<Callout>right after the.envblock that points to python-dotenv (load_dotenv()), with a shellexportalternative for anyone who prefers that.This edit is in the shared
components-mdx/env-python.mdxcomponent, which is imported by the OpenAI SDK, Python SDK, and LangChain (Python) get-started tabs (plus the OpenAI-py integration page), so the note shows up everywhere the.envblock appears — one small change, consistent everywhere.Notes
<Callout>is already used elsewhere incomponents-mdx(e.g.github-cta.mdx), so no new import is needed.Greptile Summary
This PR adds guidance for loading Python
.envfiles in the shared docs snippet. The main changes are:python-dotenvinstallation andload_dotenv()usage.exportas an alternative.Confidence Score: 5/5
This looks safe to merge.
