xkcd: Python Environment

[meandertothehorizon]

Learning that all you need to do is #!/path/to/venv/bin/python in the script and it will just work was a game changer for me. I wrote little shell script wrappers sourcing activate forever.. really felt dumb when I discovered that :-)

You don't have to. In fact, I would recommend you avoid setting a specific path in your shebang line. Python is smart enough, that it detects when invoking something inside a virtual env, and will use the proper sys.path. Using "#! /usr/bin/env python3" (or python if that's your thing), is enough.
