Hello , I would like to ask how to directly use the Python interpreter in the environment created by briefcase build to run a .py file.

Looking forward to your reply. Thank you so much.

Hey there @soaringsoul! 👋

The easiest way to run your Python app is using briefcase run. This command starts up your application using the packaged version of your code. You can see more from the run docs.

If you need direct interpreter access, you could also try briefcase dev which sets up a development environment. The built app bundle also contains a Python interpreter, though accessing it directly depends on your platform. You can see more about this from the dev docs.

I'm curious what you're trying to accomplish! Are you looking to do interactive debugging, run maintenance scripts, or something else? Let me know more about your use case, and I'll help suggest the best approach.
