[Tutor] Running an app from a virtual environment

[Phil]

This how I currently have my virtual environments set up:

myproject/
|myapp.py
|.venv
|   |bin
|   |include
|   |lib

Originally I had myapp.py stored under /bin where I could run it like this:
./python3 myapp.py.

However, I discovered recently that I should have myapp.py stored under 
the root directory as shown above. VS code still finds the app and I can 
continue working on it and running it from VS code but I can no longer 
run the same app from the virtual environment because a module that is 
stored in the .venv/lib cannot be found by myapp.py.

My AI friend has not been very helpful with this problem and an Internet 
search has offered a couple of suggestions that involve adding an extra 
line or two to myapp.py. Shouldn't myapp.py be able to be run from a 
virtual environment without modification and how do I run my creations 
after development has been completed?

I solved this problem by using pipx to install the missing module which 
results in it being stored at ~/.local/bin. I'm not sure if this is the 
correct procedure. I'm still inclined to think that myapp.py should be 
able to be run from the virtual environment and find the module in the 
lib directory.
