Recommended way to run my scripts from a venv? (feddit.org)

So, I have a python script I'd like to run from time to time from the CLI (on Linux) that resides inside a venv. What's the recommended/intended way to do this?
Write a wrapper shell script and put it inside a $PATH-accessible directory that activates the virtual environment, runs the python script and deactivates the venv again? This seems a bit convoluted, but I can't think of a better way.

I use pipenv with pyenv together. This works pretty well, also in cron jobs. Just add pipenv run python script.py to the cron table.
