[Python] How deploy python script with pm2 and virtual env using ecosystem.config.js

module.exports = {
apps : [{
name : "my_app",
cwd : "/abosolute/path-to/my-app/",
script : "main.py",
cron_restart : "0 * * * *",
interpreter: "/absolute/path-to/venv/bin/python",
log_date_format: "DD-MM HH:mm:ss.SSS"
}]
}


I get the following error

0|my_app | 10-04 16:03:15.501: SyntaxError: unterminated string literal (detected at line 29)
0|my_app | 10-04 16:03:15.527: File "/usr/local/lib/node_modules/pm2/lib/ProcessContainerForkBun.js", line 29
0|my_app | 10-04 16:03:15.527: // Change some values to make node think that the user's application
0|my_app | 10-04 16:03:15.528: ^

I'm able to run the script using cmd

pm2 start main.py --interpreter=../venv/bin/python


Also works in following 2 cases

1. when I remove cwd and provide absolute path in script it works but I don't want that as it creates issues with python script reading files.
2. When I remove interpreter it uses the default global interpreter and runs the script
