/// <summary>
/// LocateLocalFileInPath
///
/// This method facilitates developing and debugging Python Projects involving multiple file types.
/// It is intended to be run within Visual Studio against a local database.
/// However, while not recommended, it will also work with a connectionstring to a production database.
/// It is designed to allow you to edit every file locally with your favorite code editor.
/// I prefer Visual Studio Code rather than mixing in with the normal Visual Studio.
/// To debug a Python script:
/// You must uncheck the 'Enable Just My Code' setting
/// in Tools>Options>Debugging/General area (requires restart I think).
/// You must open the file being debugged in the Visual Studio running bvcms.
/// You do not need to copy the file to the bvcms project however.
/// Just open it from Visual Studio.
/// This way, every change made in Visual Studio Code,
/// will automatically ask to propagate changes to the file open in Visual Studio.
/// You must be in Debug mode.
/// You will need to add two settings in your AppSettings:
/// <add key="LocalScriptsPath" value="c:/dev/MyProject"/>
/// <add key="LocalScriptsContentKeyword" value="MyProject"/>
/// MyProject would be the name of your project, which should not conflict with any other project
/// LocalScriptsPath is the place you add all of your project files in any Directory structure you want.
/// LocalScriptsContentKey is the keyword used in Special Content to filter just your project.
/// I use a secrets.config file so as to not accidently commit that setting to the GitHub repo via the Web.Config file.
/// Having these requirements satisfied, you can set breakpoints and examine variables.
/// Unfortunately, global variables outside of a function def are not able to be inspected.
/// To get around this, I pass any global variable I need to inspect as a function argument and inspect the parameter there.
/// Of course, you can always use Python's print statement.
///
/// LocalLocalFileInPath serves two purposes:
/// 1) It finds the full path of the file and writes the file's text
/// into the appropriate Special Content folder
/// using the extensionless name of the file with the keyword attached for filtering.
/// 2) Additionally, if the file is a Python script,
/// it will allow the file run the file in debug mode assuming all of the above requirements are set.
///
/// Basically, this function works from three locations:
/// CmsWeb/Models/PythonScriptModel.cs -- FetchScript(name) method
/// CmsWeb/Models/SqlScriptModel.cs -- FetchScript(name) method
/// CMSData/API/PythonModel/PythonModel.Misc.cs -- Content(name) method
///
