Description

I have a user-directory installation of python-dotenv[cli], and then I have a conda environment installation of python-dotenv. With the conda environment active, I cannot use dotenv command, because it errors with It seems python-dotenv is not installed with cli option.

It would be better to not install the command file at all in python-dotenv installation.

Research direction

Reproduce the issue with a user-directory installation of python-dotenv[cli] and a conda environment installation of python-dotenv, then inspect how the dotenv command is installed and selected. The change is complete when the base installation no longer masks the CLI command and the command remains available with the cli extra.
