Am I to assume that if I have activated a virtualenv, then the

Yes, the purpose of that shebang is to tell the OS that *whichever*
‘python’ command is found first, is the one to use.
Thanks for clarifying.
It was only after poking around and experimenting that I discovered
that what the virtualenv activate command actually does is place its
bin directory at the beginning of the PYTHONPATH environment variable-
something I've no where seen explicitly documented.
Shouldn't that be $PATH? It does this so that running "python" will find the
virtulenv "python" command ahead of others, which is its design requirement.
The venv "python" then does essentially the same thing internally with sys.path
to achieve the same effect for python module imports.
