Description
Nima has suggestions for improvement to display_ds9/python/lsst/display/ds9/ds9.py. This is his first ticket, so in addition to making changes he is also learning the LSST workflow.
initDS9() searches for the exact word 'xpa' in $PATH and fails (here: https://github.com/lsst/display_ds9/blob/df5b824915cb3b2755570111c287f9fb0a04ef0c/python/lsst/display/ds9/ds9.py#L304).
xpa binaries are not necessarily in a folder with such a name; E.g. in my case they're in ~/.conda/envs/nimas/bin/ which is visible through $PATH
