[TriLUG] Python help?

[Stephen Wiley via TriLUG]

I typically use the "env" binary in a shebang to run mine. If you write
all your scripts that way it will just use the shell search path which
the activate script should update so that your virtual environment bin
folder is first and you/the user won't have to care.
