Research direction

Start by tracing how the invoke and inv scripts are created and how the Python interpreter is called; the issue specifically mentions manually patching those scripts in a venv. Define how interpreter options such as -OO should be supplied during invoke, then verify that the option works without manual script edits.

Description

I would like to add python interpreter options, such as -OO during the invoke call. However, I did not find a way other then patch the invoke (and inv) scripts in venv manually. Am I missing something?
