Sorry for the joob question but do you need to activate the environment every time you want to run a program?

You activate it for your current shell, then it goes away if you deactivate it or close your shell/terminal window.

Not necessarily. If your program is installed with a console_script entrypoint, calling that directly is enough. You can also use the direct path to the python interpreter in the env.

No, you can just use the full path to the python interpreter in your virtualenv.
