Description

Refs #23

Currently, only the FAQ shows how to setup the Python path in order for pytest to find the project properly. This information should be more prominent in the tutorial which is the first thing someone switching to pytest-django reads.

Research direction

Read the existing Python path setup guidance in the FAQ, then locate the Getting started guide referenced in the issue. Confirm how pytest-django expects the path to be configured and make the same guidance prominent in the tutorial. Done means a new reader can find the setup instructions in Getting started without consulting the FAQ.
