 **Caveat1:** the path to the directory should be rather short, there is a limit on shebang paths so you can get strange errors like ''ipython3: bad interpreter: No such file or directory'' if your ipython3 is installed in the venv starts with ''#!/..a..very..long..path..'' **Caveat1:** the path to the directory should be rather short, there is a limit on shebang paths so you can get strange errors like ''ipython3: bad interpreter: No such file or directory'' if your ipython3 is installed in the venv starts with ''#!/..a..very..long..path..''
