I run plolty in virtual environment that has no home folder (accessible by ~)
Can you add an options to set path to .plotly, i.e. environment value PLOTLY_PATH?

Start by locating where the package resolves the credentials file and how it currently finds the user's .plotly directory. Add support for the PLOTLY_PATH environment value, then verify that credentials are read from the configured path when no home directory is available.
