Fred is explicitly asking about the problem with having to sometimes use

sometimes use python and sometimes use python3?
Once for every venv created, not once for every script being run.
I'm afraid the terseness of your answer didn't make it at all clear how
creating venvs would solve Fred's problems. It still isn't obvious to me!
Fred is discussing the problems he is having with distribution and
deployment, not development.
IMO the issue is in not following the best practices. Distribute wheels
or freezed binaries, not just drop scripts unto users.
For most circumstances, that is not a practical answer. Creating wheels
or frozen binaries are subjects that most Python programmers know little
about and care less about. Expecting someone to learn how to wield the
packaging system just to do internal distribution is unrealistic.
Also, where is it said that distributing wheels or frozen binaries is
best practice? I wasn't aware of any such statement, and indeed have
seen frozen binaries discouraged in the past.
