Python venv and cgi
How is everyone using python venv as a cgi script? is it unwise to put the env in the cgi dir? I assume you just create a wrapper to activate the env and run the script.
I broke DSN with a server upgrade and now I'm forced into venvs.
at least I think so

So far I've not been using venvs with CGI, instead installing dependencies system-wide and making sure the right version of the Python interpreter is used for running the CGI script.
If you do use venv, I believe you can launch the CGI script using the Python interpreter in the venv's bin directory even if the venv isn't active.
