Add dotenv requirement

[twhetzel]

I am working with a repo that uses an API Key from a .env file, however when I run make commands for the repo I get "ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'dotenv'". Can dotenv be added into ODK?

Looking at your omim2obo script, I believe you actually need python-dotenv rather than dotenv -- only the former provides a dotenv_values symbol.

And python-dotenv is already in the ODK since version 1.5, released earlier this year.

I also see your run.sh script uses the ODK 1.4.3 by default, which explains why you get that error -- python-dotenv is not present in that version.

Is there a compelling reason why you must keep using the 1.4 branch? Have you encountered any issue with ODK 1.5?

The ODK policy is to maintain only one branch active at any time, so we are no longer supporting the 1.4 branch since ODK 1.5 has been released -- I am not keen on making an exception and releasing a 1.4.4 just to add a single package needed by one project.
