There are plenty of predefined Python executables, symlinks, and aliases that come bundled with your operating system. These commands come in very handy because it saves you from typing out long commands or chain of scripts. However the downfall of operating system aliases is that they don’t always play nice with virtualenv (or venv if you’re on Python 3). Most predefined aliases use the system’s default Python as the interpreter, which is next to useless when your application runs in a virtual environment.
