Research direction
Start by reviewing superseded issue #80 and locating the optional configuration path that passes environment variables in execnet. Verify how an installed dotenv library and a selected dotenv file should be handled, with particular attention to variables affecting PYTHONPATH; done means the feature remains optional and those variables are passed correctly.
