Recommended way to run my scripts from a venv? (feddit.org)

So, I have a python script I'd like to run from time to time from the CLI (on Linux) that resides inside a venv. What's the recommended/intended way to do this?
Write a wrapper shell script and put it inside a $PATH-accessible directory that activates the virtual environment, runs the python script and deactivates the venv again? This seems a bit convoluted, but I can't think of a better way.

Use venv/bin/python app.py to run it.

This. I've experimented by using pex before and one or two other means of executable python wrappers and they suck. Just do as lakeeffect says.

Yep. This is the way.
