A quick grep through my $PATH shows that there are a number of
executable Python scripts there, including add-apt-repository,
calibre, some lilypond stuff, trash-can management, samba-tool, iotop,
and youtube-dl. If I have a venv active with, say, Python 3.9, then
`/usr/bin/env python` is going to point to Python 3.9. What are the
odds that all those scripts will work with Python 3.9 with no
libraries installed? Why should typing "youtube-dl B7xai5u_tnk" be
affected by a virtual environment, when typing "man youtube-dl"
wouldn't be?? Using env for everything is a terrible idea and one that
will basically make virtual environments useless.
