The examples include scenarios such as:

In order to run a script (Python module) that relies on erdpy, it is recommended to use the Python Virtual Environment set up by erdpy-up. Prior to the actual invocation of the script, the Virtual Environment has to be activated:
source erdpy-activate
python ./myscript.py
deactivate
