Optionally set `DAYTONA_API_URL` (default `https://app.daytona.io/api`) and `DAYTONA_TARGET` (region, e.g. `us` or `eu`).","Initialize the client from env vars: Python `from daytona import Daytona; daytona = Daytona()`. Or explicitly: `from daytona import Daytona, DaytonaConfig; daytona = Daytona(DaytonaConfig(api_key='...', api_url='https://app.daytona.io/api', target='us'))`.
