We present in this article an optical potential for the $\pi$-nucleus interaction that can be used in various studies involving $\pi$-nucleus channels. Based on earlier treatments of the low energy $\pi$-nucleus optical potential, we have derived a potential expression applicable from threshold up to the $\Delta$-resonance region. We extracted the impulse approximation form for this potential from the $\pi-N$ scattering amplitude and then added to it kinematical and physical corrections. The kinematic corrections arise from transforming the impulse approximation expression from the $\pi-N$ center of mass frame to the $\pi$-nucleus center of mass frame, while the physical corrections arise mostly from the many-body nature of the $\pi$-nucleus interaction. By taking advantage of the experimental progress in our knowledge of the $\pi-N$ process, we have updated earlier treatments with parameters calculated from state-of-the-art experimental measurements.
