You can run your python script with pm2 in many ways.

Method 1: Run the script with default python interpreter

If you are trying to run the script using the default python interpreter installed in your machine then use the following command,
```
pm2 start app.py --interpreter python3
```
Method 2: Run the script with interpreter installed in the virtual environment

If you have a virtual environment configured for the script then use the following commmand,
```
pm2 start app.py --interpreter venv/bin/python3
```
Method 3: Specify the app name

You can specify the app name because pm2 gives the app name as the script name by default,
```
pm2 start app.py --interpreter venv/bin/python3 --name genxword
```
