This happens inside whatever directory you have Decluttar in, and then the local venv runs decluttar
I don't understand a bit of this, but I got everything installed and running. Seems I have to 'activate' the venv and run the script from within it. Not sure how this works with the script auto running itself periodically, but I guess I will find out! Thanks for pointing me in the right direction.

I haven't looked at the particulars of this applications, but if you path the python binary you use to run the application, it should use the environment that's with it, without being activated. Activate just prepends the path for that venv to every command you give from then on when you're working in a shell. And as noted in there, make sure you specify /bin/bash as your shell in cronjobs since it uses sh by default so you might run into issues in that context.
A virtual environment is just a copy of the python and pip binaries. When you activate the venv, the venv dirs temporarily get added to your path, so your regular python alias points to the binary in the venv (run
which pythonwith venv active to verify). Pip will install modules to a subdir of your venv. It basically works like npm and the node_modules dir.On second read, maybe you already knew that.
