To use the SDK in a Python project for cropping and resizing images stored in Cloudinary:

1. Install the SDK:

pip install cloudinary

2. Add the necessary package references:

from cloudinary import CloudinaryImage

3. Install the python-dotenv library for importing Cloudinary credentials into your project from a .env file:

pip install python-dotenv

4. Create a .env file in your project directory containing your Cloudinary API environment variable. Copy the API environment variable format from the API Keys Settings page. Replace <your_api_key> and <your_api_secret> with your actual values, while your cloud name is already correctly included in the format.

5. Use the python-dotenv library to import your Cloudinary credentials into your project:

from dotenv import load_dotenv
load_dotenv()
