Code Review
This pull request correctly moves the setting of the PYTHONPATH environment variable from .bashrc to an ENV instruction in the Dockerfiles. This ensures the variable is set for both interactive and non-interactive sessions. However, the current implementation of the ENV instruction could introduce a security vulnerability by potentially adding the current directory to Python's module search path. I've added suggestions to all four modified Dockerfiles to address this by conditionally prepending to PYTHONPATH only if it's already set.
