I do not have a settings.py file, so I am calling dotenv from my main.py, but it is still in the same folder as my .env file. Calling load_dotenv() without any parameters does not access the .env correctly, as every time that I try to use os.getenv to get an environment variable, it says "None". When I call load_dotenv(ENV_PATH) with ENV_PATH = Path(".") / ".env", it works.
