It has been suggested to me that I should use a virtual environment
and venv would be a good choice. I've read through PEP405 and this
link [1].
Though some of it seems a little confusing to me, I'm sure I can get
it up and running. This question seems a little dumb and maybe I am
being a little dense, but then what?
Your program/script is done how do you run it? Do you always have to
activate your venv and run it from there? I like to run Tkinter
programs from a launcher. Would that be possible and what would the
command look like? Lately I have been writing some Libreoffice calc
macros and evaluating pyspread for it's macro capability. Would modules
installed in my venv be available to the spreadsheet programs?
The mere act of using the python from inside the venv invokes a python that
runs off the venv, so all you really need to do is to contrive to execute that
python instead of the system python where you want it.
If your scripts start with something like this:
#!/usr/bin/env python3
then you can simply contrive that "python3" is found from the virtualenv. You
might put a symlink in your personal $HOME/bin directory, or source the venv's
"activate" file from your shell's profile (this making the venv searched ahead
of the system paths), etc.
Or your launcher might simply invoke:
$HOME/path/to/your/venv/bin/python your-tk-inter-script.py
